Myanmar’s Suu Kyi unwell, back in prison: Irrawaddy

1 Oct 09:25 Key points summarised by AI

Myanmar's former leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has reportedly been moved back to solitary confinement in Naypyitaw Prison after a period of house arrest.
She was unwell last week, suffering from a severe toothache, vomiting, and dizziness, with her request to see an outside dentist denied.
Her return to prison follows a July meeting with Thai Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai, her first known encounter with a foreign envoy since the 2021 coup, where she called for talks to resolve the crisis.
Despite her detention and a recently reduced 33-year sentence, sources indicate Suu Kyi remains aware of the country's situation and opposition movements.

Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings

Today 15:20 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
