The son of detained former Myanmar democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi reported that she sounded fairly healthy following a phone call on Thursday. The interaction marked the first time the 81-year-old leader has spoken to her son in more than over five years.
Suu Kyi is currently under house arrest in the capital of Naypyidaw, according to statements from Myanmar authorities. The rare direct communication has been interpreted by analysts as a potential signal of a strategic shift by the ruling Myanmar junta.
