Aung San Suu Kyi remains at the center of concern as Myanmar's junta claims she is in good health. However, her son, Kim Aris, remains skeptical and worried about her condition due to a lack of information.

Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been detained since a military coup in 2021, which resulted in her government being overthrown. She is currently serving a 27-year prison sentence on various charges, all of which she fervently denies.

With elections approaching in December, Aris believes the military may seek to alleviate pressure by altering her detention status, though international criticism of the election's legitimacy continues to rise.
