Burma's military regime has lifted a curfew in the two main cities, imposed last month amid pro-democracy protests led by the country's monks.
The decision was announced in Rangoon, the country's main commercial city, over loudspeakers mounted on military vehicles driving around the streets.
A curfew was also lifted in Mandalay, in an apparent return to normal life.
Authorities have released a number of prominent detainees - but diplomats say thousands remain locked up.
The whereabouts of thousands of monks who took part in the protests in September are unknown.
