Son of Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi gives update

The 81-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner met Arnaud de Baecque, resident representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to Myanmar, in the capital Naypyidaw on Monday, a government spokeswoman said.

Ms Suu Kyi has been in detention since February 2021 when her elected government was ousted by Myanmar's military in a dawn coup.

Since then, her whereabouts and wellbeing have been difficult to determine, with no foreign leader or envoy having publicly met her and leading to repeated calls for proof she is still alive.
