Cambodia's former PM Hun Sen urges Myanmar junta chief to allow video call with Suu Kyi

PHNOM PENH/YANGON (Reuters): Cambodia's former Prime Minister Hun Sen asked Myanmar's ruling general on Tuesday to allow him to speak to detained Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi on a video call, a request he said the junta chief would consider.

Suu Kyi, the figurehead of Myanmar's struggle against military rule, was arrested during a 2021 coup and has since been sentenced to 27 years in prison for a multitude of offences her allies say she did not commit.
