"My father died without being able to see my mother again because she was incarcerated at the time. I simply want to be able to see her again and know that she's okay."
"Right now, I just tell her that I love her and we all miss her a great deal and that we hope that she's well."
"I know that she will not be receiving the treatment that she needs whilst incarcerated in a prison in Burma."
Kim Aris, son of Aung San Suu Kyi, has expressed a deep desire to see his mother, who has been imprisoned since a military coup in February 2021. Suu Kyi, now 80, was sentenced to 27 years on charges widely viewed as unjust. Aris has had minimal contact with her, receiving only one censored letter in nearly three years. He is concerned about her health, noting troubling reports and a lack of medical treatment while in custody. The family remains skeptical about claims of her transfer to house arrest.
