缅甸：当局公布昂山素季罕见照片，称已转交英国国王查尔斯的书籍与信件
缅甸军方背景的政府10月19日公布了被拘押的前领导人昂山素季的罕见照片。据缅甸总统发言人在社交媒体发布的消息，政府官员向昂山素季转交了英国国王查尔斯送来的两本书、一封密封信和一份外交函件。两本书分别为《The Land Gardeners: Soil to Table》与《Soil: The World at Our Feet》。照片显示，昂山素季与两名官员隔桌而坐，桌面上放有物品。
昂山素季现年81岁，1991年获诺贝尔和平奖。她自2021年2月起被拘押，当时军方推翻了她领导的民选政府，并在清晨突袭中逮捕多名文职领导人。此后，她的行踪与健康状况外界难以确知，照片也极为罕见，迄今没有任何外国领导人或特使公开与她会面。今年4月，在军方主导的选举使政变领导人敏昂莱出任总统后，昂山素季被转至指定住所软禁；今年8月，她曾与红十字国际委员会的一名代表会面。
据路透社报道，昂山素季目前正在服18年刑期，罪名包括煽动、腐败、选举舞弊与违反国家机密法等，她对这些指控全部否认。她的刑期最初为33年，后获减刑。（据路透社报道）
Myanmar Authorities Release Rare Images of Aung San Suu Kyi: Officials Say Books and Letters From Britain's King Charles Delivered
Myanmar's military-backed government on October 19 released rare photographs of the detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi. According to a social media post by Myanmar's presidential spokesperson, government officials delivered to her two books, a sealed envelope and a diplomatic communication sent by Britain's King Charles. The two books were "The Land Gardeners: Soil to Table" and "Soil: The World at Our Feet." The photographs show Suu Kyi seated at a table with two officials, with items placed between them.
Suu Kyi, 81, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. She has been detained since February 2021, when the military ousted her elected government and arrested civilian leaders in early-morning raids. Her whereabouts and health have since been difficult to determine and photographs of her have been rare; no foreign leader or envoy has publicly met with her despite requests. In April this year, following an election held under military rule that installed coup leader Min Aung Hlaing as president, she was moved to house arrest at a designated residence. In August, she met a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
According to Reuters, Suu Kyi is currently serving an 18-year prison sentence for offences ranging from incitement and corruption to election fraud and violating a state secrets law, all of which she denies. Her original 33-year sentence was later reduced. (Reporting by Reuters)
