Burma has freed the vice-chairman of Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition National League for Democracy (NLD).
Tin Oo, 82, has been in prison or under house arrest for more than a decade.
The release comes as Burma's ruling military junta prepares to hold national elections in 2010, though no date has yet been set.
Rumours inside Burma say Ms Suu Kyi could also be freed, probably after the elections, and once her period of house arrest expires in November.
