Aung San Suu Kyi

There were hearings earlier this year, and it's all been obviously complicated by the fact that in 2020, there was a coup in Myanmar.

The junta came back in power, and Aung San Suu Kyi, who had been in power during the 2019 crackdown, was deposed.

But look, Myanmar-led government has, the military-led government there has consistently argued that the operations against the Rohingya were part of a counter-terrorism operation.

They have denied these core allegations of unsurprisingly relating to genocide.

What did that sort of resistance look like there?

Yeah, so Myanmar was, it was incredible to see Aung San Suu Kyi come to power in 2015, or at least her party winning that landslide election.

And it was a moment of massive change.

But less than six years later, the junta staged another coup and those rights were taken away overnight.

16 people, including a newborn infant, were killed in strikes on a clinic and a maternity ward in the state of Rakhine, while three students lost their lives when a school was bombed in the state of Kaya.

Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military ousted Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government in 2021.

The coup triggered a civil war which the United Nations estimates has killed 100,000 people and displaced more than 3.5 million.

U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating remains near a record low as Americans vote in Tuesday's midterm elections.

Suu Kyi's son got first call in five years, ousted leader serving 18 years in house arrest by Associated Press.

The son of Myanmar's former leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, said Friday that when he finally got to speak with his mother, who had spent more than five years in detention in the Southeast Asian country, it seemed in some ways like not much time had passed at all.

She sounds like herself and still sounds strong, said Kim Arras, adding that her voice was a bit croaky, like she had a cold.

Myanmar's military government Thursday allowed Arras a 20-minute phone call with his 81-year-old mother, one of the world's most famous political prisoners.

She is the special envoy for ASEAN while the Philippines is chairing ASEAN.

She visited the Shan State in Naypyidaw, met with the junta's foreign minister, has requested a visit with Aung San Suu Kyi, which has now so far been rejected.

This process reflects greater normalization between ASEAN and the junta.

It will be interesting to see what comments are made by the special envoy once she leaves Myanmar and what the assessment of the humanitarian situation is on the ground, given the very serious concerns and issues that are coming out about reports of conditions in Myanmar.
