‘She is alive’: Myanmar’s Suu Kyi meets Red Cross official in first post-coup visit

Aung San Suu Kyi, the detained democratic leader of Myanmar, met with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) representative, Arnaud de Baecque, in a rare public appearance since the 2021 military coup. The meeting occurred as part of ongoing efforts to address humanitarian concerns amid the country's protracted civil conflict, which has resulted in over 100,000 deaths. Suu Kyi, who was jailed following the coup and later placed under house arrest, was reportedly allowed to celebrate her 81st birthday during the encounter. The event, documented through photographs released by Myanmar's presidential office, highlights continued international engagement with Suu Kyi despite her detention.
