Aung San Suu Kyi dalam kemunculan pertama temui pegawai Palang Merah

Aung San Suu Kyi, the former leader of Myanmar, met Arnaud de Baecque, the deputy head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Myanmar, on Monday, according to a government spokesperson. Suu Kyi, who has been detained since February 2021 following the military coup that ousted her government, has her health and whereabouts become difficult to ascertain.

The spokesperson, Khine Khine Soe, shared the news via a Telegram message. The only known images of the meeting show Suu Kyi dressed in traditional Myanmar attire while meeting Baecque in a simple wooden room with two chairs and a table. Another image reveals her cutting a birthday cake labeled "Happy Birthday Aunt Suu" with a date of 19.6.2026.

The source could not independently verify the location or the date the images were taken. Suu Kyi was sentenced to 33 years in prison for various charges, including bribery, inciting electoral fraud, and violating national privacy laws. Her supporters claim the charges are politically motivated and aimed at removing her from power.

Her sentence was later reduced to 27 years and then further reduced to 18 years, meaning she still has 18 years left to serve. Suu Kyi's son, Kim Aris, told Reuters in December that he only received limited information about her health, including indirect hints of heart, bone, and liver issues, which caused concern for her family.

The military-backed government has repeatedly accused Suu Kyi of being unwell, even as international pressure mounts for Myanmar to allow unrestricted access to assess her health.
