Lawyer Says Myanmar's Suu Kyi in Good Health

Myanmar's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in good health on Wednesday during a videoconference, her lawyer said.

 

This came after the United States ordered non-essential personnel at its embassy to leave Myanmar after weeks of violence following the February 1 coup.

 

Suu Kyi had requested to meet with her lawyers in person and did not agree to a large-scale discussion via videoconference in the presence of the police, her lawyer told Reuters.

 

He added that she looked healthy and her complexion is normal.

 

Moreover, the lawyer pointed out that only the criminal cases filed against it since the coup were discussed during the video-conference.

 

Tomorrow, Thursday, the next session of her case will be held.

 

Myanmar’s security forces have killed at least 510 civilians during their nearly two-month efforts to end protests against the February 1 coup, as thousands took to the streets again despite the mounting death toll, according to an advocacy group.

 

U.S. President Joe Biden condemned the bloody crackdown on protesters in Myanmar, as security forces killed more than 100 people, including at least seven children.

 

“It’s absolutely outrageous and based on the reporting I’ve gotten, an awful lot of people have been killed totally unnecessarily,” US President Joe Biden told reporters.

 

He also added that US is currently working on imposing more sanctions against Myanmar Junta.
