Aung San Suu Kyi's pictures released for the first time in five years

Rare images of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former leader of Myanmar, have been released by the military regime after nearly five years of her being largely isolated. The pictures show her meeting with Arnaud de Baecque, the representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in a wooden-finished room. This marks the first time since her arrest in February 2021 that images of her have been publicly shared. Aung San Suu Kyi was arrested following a military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government, which had won a landslide victory in the 2020 election. She has since been under house arrest after previously serving 15 years in isolation under house arrest between 1989 and 2010. The military junta has not provided information about her health or living conditions. The coup triggered widespread protests and an ongoing civil conflict, resulting in approximately 100,000 deaths and millions displaced.
