Aung San Suu Kyi returned to work today today as leader of Burma¿s democratic opposition by visiting her party headquarters and meeting diplomats.
Some 100 National League for Democracy (NLD) supporters welcomed her, but the scene was quieter than yesterday when she was mobbed by 500 supporters hours after her release from 19 months of house arrest.
Earlier on her first day of liberty, ambassadors from Britain, France, Germany and Italy visited her home to be briefed on the progress of secret talks she has had with the ruling junta.
An NLD official said that the democracy leader will continue visiting the headquarters "for the rest of the week", but observers said she would keep a low profile in order not to provoke the military regime.
The NLD official also said that Aung San Suu Kyi would consult today with her lawyers on the ongoing property suit filed by her brother who is claiming ownership of half her home, which was once owned by their late mother.
Since returning to Burma from Britain in 1988, Aung San Suu Kyi has spent a total of nearly eight years at the famous house on University Drive over two stretches of detention ordered by the military government.
