After proof of life, Aung San Suu Kyi’s son calls for detained leader to be freed

Aung San Suu Kyi's son, Kim Aris, continues to call for his mother's unconditional release, expressing relief that she has been allowed to meet visitors. Aris, speaking to the Hankyoreh, revealed that he had spoken with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) representative who met with his mother, stating she appeared to be well.

He emphasized that this meeting was a "welcome, albeit first step" and urged for transparency around her current situation, as well as guaranteed contact with her family. Aris also warned that the military regime's move to allow the meeting was "tactical vs humanitarian," noting that Aung San Suu Kyi's release must be demanded along with the accountability of the military regime and the release of other political prisoners.
