UN Myanmar envoy ‘very concerned’ about Aung San Suu Kyi’s health

Al Jazeera  

Speaking in Singapore, Noeleen Heyzer says she will not make a second visit to the country unless she can see the deposed leader. Noeleen Heyzer, the United Nations special envoy on Myanmar, has said she is “very concerned” about the health of Myanmar’s deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi who has been in detention since the military removed her from office in a coup in February 2021, and that she will not visit the country again unless she can see her. “I am very concerned about her health and condemn her sentence for hard labour,” Heyzer said, noting that she had expressed her concerns about Aung San Suu Kyi to coup leader Min Aung Hlaing during their discussion in Naypyidaw in August. Heyzer said the Naypyidaw visit had produced “a few minor, very tiny outcomes that I’m praying can contribute in even tiny ways” including an assurance that no child under the age of 12 was being held in prison and that she would be allowed to meet Aung San Suu Kyi “eventually”. “I’m pleased that I have gone in on my first visit, but if I ever do my next visit it will only be if I can see Daw Aung San Suu Kyi,” she said in answer to a question about whether she planned to visit Naypyidaw again.
