Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi meets Red Cross official, government says
The Myanmar government also released photographs of Aung San Suu Kyi, however, the location and date of the images have not been independently verified.
Myanmar's former leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, met with an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) representative on August 3, according to a government spokesperson. The 81-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner has been detained since February 2021, following a military coup that ousted her elected civilian government. Suu Kyi's whereabouts and health have been uncertain since her detention, with no foreign leader or envoy publicly meeting her.
The ICRC confirmed a delegate had a meeting with Suu Kyi in Naypyitaw, and her son expressed hope that this could lead to more humanitarian progress, including her immediate release and access for her family. The ICRC stated that the visit adhered to its standards and procedures for visiting individuals deprived of liberty, including private conversations with Suu Kyi.
