Kim Aris, the younger son of Myanmar’s ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, has issued a renewed demand for the military regime to reveal her exact location and provide independent verification of her physical well-being.

Writing on social media on Wednesday, Aris condemned the regime in Naypyidaw for keeping the 81-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate in complete isolation.

He noted that more than five years after the February 2021 military coup, neither her family nor international observers have been granted direct access to confirm her condition.
