Myanmar’s Detained Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Meets Red Cross Official: Regime

YANGON—Myanmar’s detained democratic leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi met with the nation’s Red Cross representative on Monday, the regime’s President’s Office said, the first publicized meeting between her and a foreign official since she was allowed to meet Thailand’s foreign minister in July 2023.

The military deposed Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021, jailing the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and triggering an ongoing civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people on all sides.

The coup leader and former junta chief, Min Aung Hlaing, was installed as civilian president in April following highly restricted elections.
