00:00The United States and ASEAN have renewed their calls for the unconditional release of Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San
00:08Suu Kyi and other political prisoners.
00:10The appeal follows her meeting with a representative of the International Committee of Red Cross on Monday, her first known
00:19public appearance since the 2021 military coup.
00:25Washington and ASEAN welcomed the visit and expressed hope it will lead to regular access, including medical care, for the
00:3281-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
00:34The meeting comes after years of questions over her health and well-being.
00:39Suu Kyi has been under detention since the military seized power in February 2021, ousting her elected government.
00:45She was later tried in a series of closed-door proceedings, handed multiple prison sentences and eventually transferred to house
00:53arrest.
