Myanmar's deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi, 80, has been transferred from prison to house arrest, according to state broadcaster MRTV and a statement from military-turned-president Min Aung Hlaing. Her son Kim Aris dismissed the move as a "calculated gesture," questioning the authenticity of the released image and calling her new location a "secret" outside world contact denied to him.
