STORYLINE
The youngest son of Myanmar's pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi applied for a visa to visit his mother for the first time in ten years on Monday but left the Myanmar embassy with little expectation the visa would be granted.
Kim Aris told reporters outside the embassy in the Thai capital Bangkok that he had been told the visa application would take time to process.
Asked if he was optimistic, Aris told reporters he had "not too much hope. But there's always a little bit of hope."
He said he would most likely reapply in a few months time.
He and his older brother have repeatedly been denied visas to see their mother.
Aris flew into Thailand to make his application in anticipation that she might be released from house arrest shortly.
He lives in Britain and his older brother, Alexander, reportedly lives in the United States
It's believed Aris last saw his mother in December 2000.
Suu Kyi's latest detention expires on November 13, shortly after Myanmar held its first election in 20 years on Sunday.
Myanmar's secretive government has billed Sunday's poll as a step toward democracy, but most observers have rejected it as a sham engineered to solidify military control.
Suu Kyi, whose party won a landslide victory in the last elections in 1990 but was barred from taking office, urged a boycott of the vote.
There is little doubt the junta-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party will emerge with an enormous share of the parliamentary seats, despite widespread popular opposition to 48 years of military rule.
As early results trickled in, state media and the Election Commission reported that 40 junta-backed candidates had already won their races.
And no matter the election results, the constitution sets aside 25 percent of parliamentary seats for military appointees.
The 65-year-old Suu Kyi's political struggle has come at great personal cost.
She has been imprisoned or under house arrest for 15 of the past 21 years.
She was first arrested in 1989 when her sons were 11 and 16.
Her late husband, British scholar Michael Aris, raised their two sons in England.
Their eldest son, Alexander Aris, accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on his mother's behalf in 1991.

How will the Sons and daughters of the ousted, deported, wounded, maimed poor mothers of Rohingya feel?
not only Rohingya, but other ethnic groups like Shan, Kayah, Kachin, and including Bamar have also been being bullied under Military dictatorship since the 1960s. I wonder where are your voices when other non-muslim ethnic groups were being tortured, raped, and slaughtered by the military. What a double standard world I am living in.
@@Jimmy-wz2jk I voice for everyone. The recent one being Rohingyas and the inability or nerveless Aung Sun who looked through and couldn't condemn the atrocities makes me sick. You looking at the matter in a religious perspective makes me think how big a human you are. Don't blame just the military. Blame the society too. Blame the monks. Blame Aung Sun too. What they sow they reap.
Aung San Su Kyi allowed all UN/ NGO to investigate Rohingya issue to get awareness. She did the best she can within her limited authority. How many of real Rohingya out there? How many are Bangladeshi just pass border to be in Refugee camp to get free donations? Their real purpose is to get Rohingya identity as free pass to be asylum in M’sia or other western countries. If you are real Rohingya, go blame to Military regime who rejected you since 2007 and did the killings. People of Myanmar including our ethnic groups and DASSK are fighting for our freedoms; in the meanwhile you are just making fun of us and saying Karma. Real Karma will do to Military Junta and people like you who are celebrating now.
@@libertyjustices7572 For me all life is valuable. There is no difference in human life. Don't praise Aung San suu ki yet. She just saw the other side when it came to Rohingya. Now do you call all those who crossed border into Manipur as people seeking free food. Get some education before you talk anything. Rohingyas are people of Burma whether you say it or not. The majority were silent during the genocide. Now they cry when the tide has changed. Where were you when the Rohingyas were slaughtered?
Crook's plan
So he is fighting for his mom’s freedom ? I wonder what is his opinion on the genocide of the Rohingyas which his mom supported and defended ? I have no sympathy for Aung Sang Su Kyi. This is karma !
Stupid la you
