YANGON, Sept 7 \u2014 Myanmar\u2019s detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi is suffering from worsening heart problems and requires urgent medical attention, her son said on Friday, in an appeal for her immediate release from \u201ccruel and life-threatening\u201d custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim Aris told Reuters that his 80-year-old mother, who has been in military custody since a 2021 coup that deposed her government, had requested to see a cardiologist about a month ago, but he was unable to confirm if this had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithout proper medical examinations \u2026 it is impossible to know what state her heart is in,\u201d he said by phone from London. \u201cI am extremely worried. There is no way of verifying if she is even alive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has also suffered from bone and gum issues, Aris said, adding it was likely she had been injured in an earthquake in March that killed more than 3,700 people. In a Facebook video, he appealed for Suu Kyi and all political prisoners in Myanmar to be released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military spokesman Zaw Min Tun told state media on Saturday evening that reports about her health were aimed at distracting from military chief Min Aung Hlaing\u2019s visit to China, where he met with President Xi Jinping and attended a military parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaw Aung San Suu Kyi\u2019s health is good. They are fabricating this information because we are in China and our Myanmar leader is doing so many activities and they want to hide this news,\u201d he said on MRTV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suu Kyi, a long-standing symbol of Myanmar\u2019s pro-democracy movement, is serving a 27-year sentence for offences including incitement, corruption and election fraud, all of which she denies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myanmar has been gripped by violence since the February 2021 coup, which crushed mass rallies and sparked a widespread armed uprising. \u2014 Reuters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
