Aung San Suu Kyi moved to house arrest

Myanmar's military junta has moved deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi from prison to house arrest, citing extreme heat in the capital, Naypyidaw.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate has been in detention since the 2021 military coup that overthrew her elected government.

The United States and other international powers have called for her immediate and unconditional release, dismissing the move as insufficient.

Human rights groups remain skeptical of the junta's motives, suggesting the change in status is a tactical maneuver to deflect global pressure.
