YANGON – Myanmar’s detained democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi yesterday met with the Red Cross representative to the country, the humanitarian group said, the first publicised meeting between her and a foreign official since she was ousted in a 2021 coup.

The military deposed Suu Kyi in February 2021, jailing the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and triggering an ongoing civil war that has killed more than 100 000 people, according to monitor ACLED.
