The son of Myanmar’s deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi demanded France’s help in seeking independently verified proof of his mother’s life after she was transferred to house arrest, her lawyers said.

Kim Aris, son of imprisoned Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, has made a heartfelt plea to be allowed to see his elderly mother, who has been held in detention since the 2021 military coup. The junta claims to have transferred her from prison to house arrest, but Aris says the family has no proof this is true.

Myanmar's military junta has transferred deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi from prison to house arrest, state broadcaster MRTV announced. Suu Kyi, 80, has been detained since the 2021 coup that toppled her democratically elected government. She was sentenced to 27 years on widely condemned fabricated charges. Her son Kim Aris called the transfer a "calculated gesture" designed to ease international pressure, noting he has received no confirmation of her wellbeing and does not know her location.
