Myanmar’s former leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved from prison to house arrest.

The junta spokesperson, Major General Zaw Min Tun saysthe decision does not only apply to Suu Kyi but for all those who need necessary precautions, especially elderly prisoners.

It was not immediately clear where Suu Kyi had been moved to and Zaw Min Tun, but it is established that the decision was due to the extremely hot weather.

Suu Kyi, 78, has been detained by the Myanmar military since it overthrew her government in a 2021 coup.
