Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi received a package from Britain’s King Charles on Monday, authorities said, releasing the first pictures of the detained Nobel laureate in two months and describing her as a “special female prisoner”.
It is the first time Myanmar authorities have used the term to describe Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a military coup in 2021, triggering a civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people, according to monitor ACLED.
The coup leader and former junta chief Min Aung Hlaing was installed as civilian president in April following elections that did not include Suu Kyi’s party, and she was moved to house arrest soon afterwards.
Home ministry officials met her on Monday to deliver a package of two books about soil, “one sealed envelope, and a sealed diplomatic communication sent by King Charles III of the United Kingdom to the special female detainee”, Myanmar’s presidential spokeswoman said on her Facebook page.
