Myanmar junta reports Suu Kyi’s health status

The Myanmar military claims that Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi’s health is “good,” despite concerns from her son, Kim Aris, about her well-being and fears of her possible death. Suu Kyi, detained since the military coup in February 2021 and serving multiple prison sentences, has not been seen publicly, and her medical access remains unclear due to restrictions. Aris has called for her release, expressing worry over the lack of communication as she ages. The military has issued vague assurances about her health but has denied access to independent observers.
