Suu Kyi's Shadow in Naypyitaw: A Symbol of Ongoing Repression Aung San Suu Kyi's meeting with a Red Cross official on August 3 serves as a stark reminder of Myanmar's continued disregard for human rights and the rule of law.
Her prolonged detention, which began in February 2021 after the military coup, has been a thorn in the side of the international community.
The meeting itself is not significant, but what is striking is the Myanmar government's decision to publicly acknowledge Suu Kyi's meeting with Arnaud de Baecque, Resident Representative of the ICRC in Naypyitaw.
