One of the Myanmar military's first moves during its coup last year was to place Aung San Suu Kyi, the country's de facto civilian leader and a democracy figurehead who has spent decades battling military rule, under house arrest.

In this file photograph taken on January 15, 2020, Myanmar’s State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi speaks during a meeting with citizens as part of 68th Kayah State Day anniversary events in the state capital Loikaw. – Myanmar’s ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been accused of breaking a colonial-era official secrets law, her lawyer said April 1, 2021.

Satellite imagery shows a series of buildings surrounded by a wall and set back from a main road, but details on where in the complex she is being held are scant. Suu Kyi will also be without her dog Taichido — gifted to her in 2010 by her UK-born youngest son when he made a rare visit to Myanmar, according to local media.

Independent analyst David Mathieson said the move was “certainly a sign they don’t care about her welfare”.Suu Kyi remained sanguine after the transfer to jail, a source with knowledge of the case told AFP.Suu Kyi spent around 15 years under house arrest under previous juntas, leading a simple life dominated by reading, meditation and prayer.
