Kim Aris, the youngest son of Myanmar’s ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, has called on the military to free her from jail. In an exclusive interview in London to BBC Burmese, Kim urged the world to do more to help her.
Ms. Suu Kyi was handed a 33-year sentence in a series of trials after a coup toppled her government in 2021. Ms. Kyi, who was under house arrest following the coup, was moved to solitary confinement last year in a prison in the capital Nay Pyi Taw. Myanmar has since spiraled into a civil war. Mr. Aris says the army has not given him any information about his mother or the condition of her health. He says, he has tried contacting the Burmese embassy, the British Foreign Office, and the International Red Cross, but none of them have been able to help.
