Aung San Suu Kyi Moved to House Arrest in Myanmar Amid Heatwave

Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's former leader, has been moved from prison to house arrest due to a heat wave, with over 3,000 prisoners granted amnesty for the traditional New Year holiday. The military government cited health concerns due to the severe heat as the reason for the move, which has not been publicly announced in Myanmar. Suu Kyi, 78, and Win Myint, the former president, were among the elderly and infirm prisoners moved. The conflict in Myanmar began after the army ousted the elected government in 2021, leading to nonviolent protests and the imprisonment of Suu Kyi.
