Myanmar’s military says former leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been moved from prison to house arrest, with her remaining sentence to be served at a designated residence. Reports from Al Jazeera, NPR, Bloomberg, BBC News and France 24 corrobor this move, noting Suu Kyi has been detained since the 2021 coup and that the location of her new residence is undisclosed.
