Rare footage and records provided to the Guardian reveal Aung San Suu Kyi's life in solitary confinement following her arrest by Myanmar's military in 2021. As she approaches her 80th birthday, the ousted leader is subjected to military-run corruption trials deemed politically motivated. The logs illustrate her regimented daily life, raising concerns about her health and the rudimentary medical care she receives. Supporters worry that her health is declining sharply, and that she is largely isolated from the violence impacting her country.
The footage and logs shown to the Guardian by military defector group People's Embrace shed light on her condition and routine, amid concerns from her family and supporters that her health has seriously deteriorated.
Dr Aung Kyaw, a former political prisoner jailed for treating anti-coup protesters, described her care as rudimentary and basic. It addresses only the symptoms, not the root causes.
