Aung San Suu Kyi seen in rare photos following ICRC meeting

The photographs show Suu Kyi in a wood-paneled room with Arnaud de Baecque, the ICRC’s resident representative. Additional images depict the former leader cutting a birthday cake, though independent verification of the location and the timing of the visit remains impossible. Her son, Kim Aris, has previously expressed deep concern regarding her health, citing reports of heart and dental issues that have gone unaddressed during her long-term isolation.

Since the February 2021 coup, Suu Kyi has faced a series of secret trials resulting in a sentence now reduced to 18 years. While the military-backed administration insists she remains in good health, they have consistently blocked international requests for independent access, including recent appeals from ASEAN members. The current circumstances contrast sharply with her previous decades of house arrest in Yangon, where she maintained visible contact with her supporters.
