  1. Follow-up: Aung San Suu Kyi's son speaks to his detained mother for first time in over five years, says she sounded 'fairly healthy'

    The Guardian and CNA, citing AFP, reported that Kim Aris, son of Myanmar's former leader Aung San Suu Kyi, said on Facebook on Oct 22 that he had spoken to his mother by phone for the first time in more than five years. She has been detained since the February 2021 military coup, and Myanmar authorities say she is under house arrest in Naypyitaw. Aris said she 'sounded fairly healthy' and they spoke only about family because the call would be recorded, adding that 'one phone call is not the same as regular family visits'; on Monday the authorities released photos of her receiving a package from King Charles III.

  2. BBC: US official met Myanmar junta leader Min Aung Hlaing in Naypyidaw in September; some business figures delisted from sanctions

    BBC reported that US Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research Michael Vance met Myanmar military leader Min Aung Hlaing in the capital Naypyidaw on Sept 15–16, with the ostensible aim of securing the release of detained US citizen Adam Castillo. The US also removed some Myanmar business figures from its sanctions list. Since the 2021 coup that ousted elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi, Washington had had almost no official contact with the junta and had imposed targeted sanctions on people judged to support it.

  3. Myanmar releases first photos of Aung San Suu Kyi in two months, says she received package from King Charles

    The South China Morning Post reported that Myanmar's authorities released the first photos in two months of detained Aung San Suu Kyi on Oct 19, saying she received a package from Britain's King Charles III and referring to her for the first time as a 'special female prisoner'. A presidential spokeswoman said home affairs officials handed her two books about soil, a sealed letter and a sealed diplomatic letter from the King. Suu Kyi has not been allowed to meet any foreign leader or envoy since her detention in February 2021; the coup that year triggered a civil war that ACLED says has killed more than 100,000 people.
