Myanmar's military-backed government on Monday released rare photographs of the country's imprisoned former leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. Officials delivered two books and a sealed envelope from Britain's King Charles to Suu Kyi, according to a social media post from Myanmar's presidential spokesperson. Suu Kyi, 81, has been detained since February 2021, when the military ousted her administration. The delivery marks rare foreign contact with Suu Kyi, whose whereabouts and health have been difficult to determine since the 2021 coup. No foreign leader or envoy has publicly met with her despite requests. She was moved to house arrest in April and met with a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross in August.
