Son of Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi says had first call in five years

Yesterday 17:18 Key points summarised by AI

Kim Aris, son of Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi, spoke with his mother for the first time in over five years, expressing immense relief but underscoring her ongoing unjust detention.
Suu Kyi, 81, has been under house arrest since the 2021 military coup, with her son emphasizing that a single conversation does not constitute regular family access.
This rare contact follows recent, limited relaxations of her detention by Myanmar authorities, including public appearances and receiving a package from King Charles III, which analysts suggest may be an attempt to court international legitimacy for the military regime.
