Aung San Suu Kyi
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what diplomatic steps she has taken to support the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest in the last six months.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
On 1 February, the Foreign Secretary called for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all those arbitrarily detained in Myanmar, and we followed this up in March, by co-sponsoring a UN Human Rights Council Resolution calling for the immediate and unconditional release of all those arbitrarily detained. Previously, in October 2025, our Head of Mission in Yangon encouraged the Myanmar military regime to grant access to Aung San Suu Kyi's family, and reiterated our calls for her release.
