Myanmar's military moves detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi to house arrest
Myanmar's state media announced that detained former civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, 80, has been moved from prison to house arrest after more than five years of detention since the February 2021 military coup. State television released the first public photograph of her in years, seated with military personnel. The UN spokesperson called the move a meaningful step, though her son expressed concerns about her condition and the lack of clarity about her whereabouts.
