Nobel Peace Nobel will have asked to consult a cardiologist, “but no one knows where he is hospitalized or if he is receiving care”
Myanmar’s leader (formerly Burma) Aung San Suu Suu Kyi, 80, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, runs “serious danger” due to the worsening heart problems, his son Kim Aris today warned today.
“My mother is suffering from growing heart complications. He asked to consult a cardiologist, but no one knows where he is hospitalized or if he is receiving care,” said Aris in a video posted on the social network Facebook.
The son of politics has classified the situation as “cruel, life -threatening and unacceptable” and called on Suu Kyi’s immediate liberation, as well as all political prisoners in Myanmar.
In recent years, concerns about the health of Suu Kyi has emerged. The leader fulfills a sentence of nearly 30 years imposed in a lawsuit that took place after being dismissed by the 2021 military coup.
Kim Aris, who lives in London, has accused the Myanmar regime of depriving his mother of medical care despite the health problems he has felt in recent years.
Suu Kyi, detained in Naypyidaw on February 1, 2021 by the Military Junta, has no contact with the outside world since April 2024, when the military announced that they had transferred it to a place of unknown detention.
Myanmar’s former leader, who led the country’s democratic transition, has not been seen in public since December 30, 2022, generating concern among supporters, some of whom joined the pro-democracy armed groups to face the military.
Suu Kyi, who spent more than 15 years in prison for opposing the military who ruled Myanmar with iron hand between 1962 and 2011, is still seen as a martyr for democracy in the country.
On Monday, the military junta announced that legislative elections, the former since assuming power in 2021, will be held from December 28.
The board, led by Min Aung Hlaing, presented these elections as an end to the conflict that shakes Myanmar and caused thousands of dead and more than 3.5 million displaced.
Opposition groups, including ancient parliamentarians deprived at the time of the coup, promised to boycott the elections, that a UN expert Tom Andrews compared the “a scam” intended to legitimize the continuous domain of the military.
Shortly after the announcement of the elections, the military junta closed the most important point of passage on the border with Thailand to contain the financing of armed rebel groups.
The military controls the Myawaddy Bridge, whereby more than $ 120 million (about 103 million euros) in trade between the two neighboring countries, according to data from Thai customs, are moved monthly monthly dollars.
But in the highway that connects the border post to the city of Ranguum, the board fights guerrillas who are financed through the creation of their own tolls.
