Aung San Suu Kyi reportedly relocated by regime to undisclosed location in Naypyidaw

Sources close to the Naypyidaw Prison in Myanmar’s capital told DVB that jailed State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi has been relocated from house arrest — where she had been reportedly moved to from her prison cell in April 2024 — to an undisclosed location. 

Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested during the military coup on Feb. 1, 2021. She has been held incommunicado by the regime, which ousted her National League for Democracy (NLD) government, since the 2021 coup.

A source told DVB on the condition of anonymity that Aung San Suu Kyi was moved from her prison cell to house arrest at a residence used by deputy ministers in April 2024. The rumor of her relocation emerged after the National League for Democracy (NLD) denounced the regime’s 2025-26 elections on Oct. 28.

The regime scheduled elections will be held in 274 of Myanmar’s total 330 townships, according to the Union Election Commission (UEC). The first phase will be held in 102 townships on Dec. 28, the second in 100 townships on Jan. 11, 2026, and the third in 72 townships on an unspecified date, added the UEC.
