Photos newly released by Myanmar's military government show Suu Kyi meeting with an ICRC official.
Source excerpt
Detained Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been allowed to meet a delegation from the International Committee of the Red Cross, the first confirmed outside contact with her since a letter to her son two and a half years ago.
In photographs of the meeting released by the military government Suu Kyi appeared to be healthy.
She was detained shortly after the armed forces deposed her government in 2021, and sentenced her to 33 years in jail on what are widely viewed as trumped-up charges, though her sentence has been reduced and she has been moved to house arrest.
Despite repeated assurances from the military that Suu Kyi is alive and well, they have never provided convincing evidence of this.
