Myanmar's military regime stated that Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel laureate detained since the 2021 coup, is "in good health." The statement, issued on December 17, 2025, follows concerns raised by her son, Kim Aris, who has had little information about her condition. Aris is demanding proof of his 80-year-old mother's well-being, citing the lack of independent verification, photos, medical reports, or family access. Suu Kyi, who is reportedly in solitary confinement in Naypyidaw, is serving a 27-year sentence on charges widely considered politically motivated. The military government has not responded to requests for further comment or evidence of her health.
