> Former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi met a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross on August 3. The 81-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate was detained in early 2021 after a military coup removed her elected civilian government. Since then, international officials and the public have had little information about where she is or how she is doing. The meeting marked a rare appearance by the ousted leader.
