Myanmar Aung San Suu Kyi moved out of jail to house arrest
By Frances MaoBBC News, Singapore
Myanmar's ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved to House Arrest after the military detained her following a coup in February 2021.
Ms Suu Kyi was taken to a Government Building in Nay Pyi Taw on Monday, prison sources told BBC Burmese. She'd spent a year in solitary confinement.
The 78-year-old is serving a 33-year sentence, after being jailed in closed-door, military-run trials.
Almost no news has emerged about her condition in More Than two years.
There has been no public confirmation of her transfer from jail, but The Move to House Arrest could be a positive sign from the military authorities, who have faced numerous calls to release the country's democratically-elected leader.
Ms Suu Kyi was rumoured to have been ill, but the military has denied the reports. Earlier This Week a source from the Nay Pyi Taw prison where she was being held told BBC Burmese that she was in good health.
Thailand's Foreign Minister also revealed this month that he had visited Ms Suu Kyi - however he disclosed no further detail.
The military has arranged a meeting between Ms Suu Kyi and T Khun Myat, the Speaker of the lower house of parliament, BBC Burmese reported. However no details have been confirmed.
Since The Coup , Myanmar has spiralled into a Civil War , which has killed thousands of people. Sanctions imposed on the military have failed to stop the violence.
The 78-year-old Nobel laureate was under House Arrest Until June this year, when she was moved to solitary confinement in a prison in the country's capital.
She denies all of the accusations and rights groups have condemned The Court trials as a sham.
The Daughter of independence hero General Aung San , she emerged as a leader of the pro-democracy movement against the Military Dictatorship . She co-founded the National League for Democracy (NLD), but was put under House Arrest in 1989. Awarded the Nobel peace prize, Ms Suu Kyi was one of The World 's leading democracy icons. Her release from detention in 2010 was celebrated in Myanmar and around The World . But she was later criticised for defending her country against allegations of genocide at the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) after widespread claims that Myanmar had committed atrocities against Muslim Rohingya while her government was in power. Nearly A Million of them have fled Myanmar in recent years, and now live as refugees in neighbouring Bangladesh.
