Son of Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi Reacts to First Photos Since 2021 Arrest

Photos of Myanmar's former leader Aung San Suu Kyi have emerged for the first time since her arrest following the 2021 military coup. The images were taken after she met with a delegation from the International Committee of the Red Cross. Suu Kyi has been held in detention since the military seized power.

Her son, Kim Aris, shared his reaction to the photos with CBS News. He described seeing his mother as "a bit of a shock" but also expressed relief that she was able to meet with the Red Cross. The photos offer a rare glimpse of the Nobel laureate, who has been largely out of public view since her detention.

Aris also spoke about his mother's health and well-being, though specific details were not disclosed. The meeting with the Red Cross is seen as a significant development, potentially opening avenues for further communication and humanitarian access. The international community continues to call for Suu Kyi's release and the restoration of democracy in Myanmar.
