Former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been held in detention since a military coup in 2021, has been moved to house arrest, the country's state media reported.
Little has been heard from the 80-year-old Nobel laureate since she was arrested on the day the armed forces ousted her elected government more than five years ago.
She was charged with a raft of criminal offences, including corruption. She denies all of the accusations and rights groups have condemned the series of secret trials as a sham.
Having spent nearly15 years in detention between 1989 and 2010, Suu Kyi was once seen as a beacon for human rights, a principled activist who gave up her freedom to challenge the ruthless army generals who have ruled Myanmar for decades.
Her personal struggle to bring democracy to Myanmar (also known as Burma) made her an international symbol of peaceful resistance in the face of oppression.
