Myanmar's military government is reportedly planning to release opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi when her current term of house arrest ends in November.

According to Reuters news agency, three sources say the plan was mentioned at a meeting last week attended by Myanmar's home minister, Major General Maung Oo.

He has been held in jail or under house arrest for more than a decade.
