Aung San Suu Kyi home in legal limbo after failed fourth auction attempt

Attorneys for jailed State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi told the Kamaryut District Court in Yangon on May 15 that it is unprecedented for the losing party in a legal dispute over an inherited estate to propose a valuation after four unsuccessful attempts by the court to auction the home at the request of Suu Kyi’s brother Aung San Oo, a source close to the court told DVB on the condition of anonymity. 

“The military wants to continue making life as difficult for [my mother] as possible. If they take away that property, she won’t have any property of her own in [Myanmar],” Kim Aris, Aung San Suu Kyi’s son, told DVB. He added that the regime must be pushing his uncle Aung San Oo to auction off the residence without his mother’s consent.
