Aung San Suu Kyi’s son speaks to detained former Myanmar leader for first time in five years

Kim Aris, the son of Myanmar's imprisoned former leader Aung San Suu Kyi, recently spoke with his mother for the first time in five years. The brief communication marks a rare instance of contact between the 81-year-old Nobel laureate and her family since her detention following the 2021 military coup.

Despite the call, Aris emphasized that the interaction does not constitute regular family access. He reiterated his position that his mother remains unjustly detained, highlighting the ongoing restrictions imposed by the military junta.
