Kim Aris, the younger son of Myanmar’s imprisoned pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, is calling on the military-led government to provide proof that she is alive. The demand follows claims made by the authorities in April that Suu Kyi’s prison sentence was commuted to about 17 years and that she had been moved to house arrest. Aris, who lives in London and spoke in an interview there this week, says he has not seen evidence that his mother was transferred to house arrest. He also says he believes the 80-year-old Suu Kyi has not been moved and remains in prison in Naypyitaw, Myanmar’s capital. According to the reported accounts, Aris describes the information available to him as lacking substantiation, pointing to an absence of evidence supporting the government’s statement about her transfer. The outlets report that Aris is requesting verification from the authorities regarding Suu Kyi’s location and current condition, amid continued uncertainty about her status.
