Myanmar Rejects ASEAN Calls for Suu Kyi | Tulsa News
Description
Myanmar’s military regime defiantly rejects ASEAN’s push for the unconditional release of Aung San Suu Kyi, calling the envoy’s role unnecessary as Singapore takes over ASEAN chairmanship in 2027. While claiming to have commuted some of her sentences for humanitarian reasons, they insist any full release must follow the law. The regime also criticized ASEAN’s demands after the International Committee of the Red Cross visited Suu Kyi — the first such contact in five years — as the Philippines welcomed the gesture but renewed calls for her and other political prisoners’ freedom. Myanmar’s foreign ministry dismissed the charges against Suu Kyi as politically motivated, while critics label the 2021 elections a sham designed to entrench military rule.
