San Suu Kyi Aung, the youngest child of Myanmar’s detained former president, claimed that she has been denied access to critical medical care.
According to Kim Aris, the military coup in charge of the nation prevented prison administration from requesting” essential care.”
Ms. Suu Kyi, 78, of Burma, according to jail publications, has been experiencing excruciating toothaches that have prevented her from eating.
She is, however, in excellent health and receives routine check-ups from both military and civilian doctors, according to a military official.
Following the defense takeover that ousted Ms. Suu Kyi, she has been imprisoned since February 2021.
The revolution sparked a civil war in the nation and resulted in dozens of fatalities.
Longtime friends of Ms. Suu Kyi told BBC Burmese that she has low blood pressure and severe gum disease, and a source close to the jail added that her gum problems have” gotten worse.”
She was given sweet food and a medical jelly to treat her toothaches, according to the source.
Based in the UK, Mr. Aris claimed that his mother’s illness has caused her to vomit and experience” significant dizziness.”
The 46-year-old wrote in a word message to BBC Burmese,” It is cruel and cruel to refuse an ill prisoner access to recommended clinical care.”
” If appropriate care is denied, people with such painful gums disease that they are unable to have obviously has their full health at risk.”
The exiled National Unity Government of Myanmar, which is made up of all the country’s political parties, has urged the international community to” force the junta” into treating political prisoners like Ms. Suu Kyi fairly.
The absolute discharge of Ms. Suu Kyi and the thousands of other people held in the regime’s crackdown on its suspected rivals has been demanded by numerous world leaders.
However, discussions at the periodic Asean mountain, which began in Indonesia on Tuesday, have been dominated by Myanmar’s social crisis. Leadership of the South East Asian bloc have criticized Myanmar’s military regime for the ongoing unrest in the nation.
Myanmar was never invited to the local conference that followed the revolution for the second time in a column.
