Aung San Suu Kyi's son says he doesn't know where his mother is

Weekend

Available for over a year

Polls have closed in the first phase of Myanmar's first election since the military seized power almost five years ago. Voting took place in military- controlled areas. Most opposition parties were banned, including that of the deposed democratic leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. People who criticised the poll as an attempt to legitimise the military government have been jailed. But casting his ballot, the military leader, Min Aung Hlaing insisted the vote would be free and fair. We spoke to Kim Aris, son of Aung San Suu Kyi. Has he had any contact with her in recent times?
