Myanmar's military junta said it moved Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi from Naypyidaw Prison to house arrest to serve the remainder of an 18-year sentence. Suu Kyi has been held since the military ousted her civilian government in the 2021 coup and was later convicted in a series of closed trials. Her legal team says it will meet her this weekend and governments have pressed for independent verification of her condition, raising fresh concerns about junta secrecy and the implications for Myanmar's democratic future.
