Myanmar: Aung San Suu Kyi's son says ex-leader is being used as 'human shield'

The son of Myanmar's deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi has accused the military junta of using her as a "bargaining chip" and "human shield" after they moved her to house arrest.
Kim Aris said with fighting against rebel groups moving towards the capital Naypyidaw, his mother was being used as leverage against the opposition.
Ms Suu Kyi was deposed in a military coup in 2021 and has been held in prison ever since, charged with treason and bribery.
With the country now entering its hottest season, the junta said they were moving her due to fears of heatstroke.
The country's military is engaged in a civil war with various groups opposed to the dictatorship.

That Military people are not humans,

[@MajorCharlesCarringtonV.C]

There was a lot of victim blaming of Aung San Suu Kyi from western celebrities who were safely tucked away from the Myanmar Junta

[@zinny999]

She wasn't a Saint. She was willing to do what was needed for betterment of Myanmar and her people.
She basically went to prison for 26 years to serve her people. No way she was going to give it all up overnight because some thousands people were persecuted. She wasn't going to get 50M people persecuted like that.

Crazy how an average person can figure this out while the numb skulls in the western media can't​@@zinny999

The country is in revolution not turmoil

[@montrak4208]

While the news of moving Daw Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest spreads all over the world, souces close to prison say she is still in prison. If the news of the movement is not true, Myanmar people will not be surprised as they know well the spokesperson is used to tell the absolute opposite.

Aung San SUU kyi should not have involved in Myanmar politics.Our Myanmar people 's
democratic movement became misused by her personal revenge on military personnel and vice versa .
Fate of Myanmar depends on her personality.

[@Wii_kii_wii_333]
