Myanmar’s regime allows Aung San Suu Kyi to meet with International Committee of the Red Cross

Myanmar’s jailed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi met with the International Committee of the Red Cross’ representative in the capital on Monday, the military regime stated, a rare moment of contact with the outside world for the Nobel laureate who has been held out of public view since the military seized power in 2021.

Two photographs published with the announcement showed ousted State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi shaking hands with Arnaud de Baecque, the ICRC’s representative to Myanmar, and meeting with him in a wood-paneled room.
