Myanmar's democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi appeared for the first time in nine years at an official ceremony on Tuesday honoring her father and other fallen national heroes. At her morning appearance, Aung San Suu Kyi laid flowers at the memorial to her father, Aung San, and other independence leaders who were assassinated on July 19, 1947. It was her first appearance at the annual ceremony since she was placed under house arrest in 2003. The government this week invited her to take part in the ceremony, along with others.
