Kim Aris warns that his mother Aung San Suu Kyi faces serious heart problems while serving a 27-year prison sentence in Myanmar. The detained democracy leader requested treatment from an outside cardiologist after experiencing chest pain and dropping blood pressure. Military officials denied the health concerns but provided no evidence to support their claims. Aris has received no response to repeated requests for contact with his mother.
The 80-year-old Nobel laureate was convicted on charges critics call fabricated after the military seized power in 2021. Multiple sources confirmed her deteriorating condition to Aris through different channels. Myanmar authorities keep her location secret and deny family visits. International pressure has failed to secure her release or proper medical care for the former civilian leader.
