LONDON : The son of Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's detained former leader, said he was"extremely worried" about his mother's health, saying she was struggling to eat and was being refused permission to see an outside doctor.
Myanmar has been in turmoil since early 2021, when the military overthrew Suu Kyi's elected government and cracked down on opponents of military rule, with thousands jailed or killed. Aris, 45, who in 1991 as a teenager collected the Nobel peace prize for his mother who was under house arrest at the time, has had no contact with his mother since she was most recently detained and the military have not responded to his repeated requests.
Many governments have called for the unconditional release of Suu Kyi and thousands of other political prisoners, and some, including the United States, European Union and Britain, have targeted the South-east Asian country's military with sanctions.
