King Charles sends books to detained Myanmar leader

# Myanmar’s military-backed government says Britain’s King Charles has sent two books and a sealed diplomatic letter to detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi. Officials delivered the items yesterday and released rare photographs of the 81-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who has been held since the military coup in 2021. Her son, Kim Aris, welcomed the gesture but warned against the regime using it to create an illusion of normality. The family is not able to independently verify her health condition.
