缅甸被拘禁的前领导人昂山素季日前获准与国际红十字会代表会面，这是她自2021年军方政变以来首次获确认的外部接触[1][2]。军政府发布的照片显示这位81岁的民主活动家状况良好[1][2]。会面时间为8月3日[2]，国际红十字会代表为阿诺德·德贝克[2]。
昂山素季自2021年2月军方推翻其政府后一直被拘禁[2]。她曾被判处33年监禁[1]，随后于4月由总统敏昂莱批准刑期减刑六分之一，转为软禁状态[2]。军政府公布的四张会面照片中，两张显示她在生日蛋糕前，表明照片可能拍摄于其6月生日前后[2]。其子金·阿里斯近月来在伦敦主导在线活动，要求获得其母亲活着且身体健康的证明[2]。
Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi has met with International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) representatives, marking her first publicly confirmed outside contact in 2.5 years following the military coup of February 2021 [1][2]. The junta released photographs of the meeting showing the 81-year-old appearing in good health [1][2]. According to the military government, the encounter took place on August 3, with ICRC representative Arnold Debecker present [2].
The Nobel laureate has been held in detention since the military overthrew her government in 2021 [2]. She was initially sentenced to 33 years in prison but was transferred to house arrest in April after the newly appointed President Min Aung Hlaing reduced her sentence by one-sixth, bringing her total prison term to 27 years [2]. Among the photographs released by the junta, two images show Suu Kyi before a birthday cake, suggesting the photos may have been taken around her 81st birthday in June [2].
The meeting comes after sustained international pressure for proof of her wellbeing [1][2]. Her son Kim Aris recently led an online campaign from London demanding verification that his mother was alive and in good health [2]. Previously in May, the Philippines, representing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), had requested permission for a special envoy to visit Suu Kyi, a request the junta rejected [2].
