Myanmar’s military authorities have published the first images of deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi since she was taken into custody following the February 2021 military coup. The photographs, which show the former State Counsellor in a courtroom setting, were released as part of the military junta's ongoing legal campaign against her.

Since her arrest, Aung San Suu Kyi has been held incommunicado, with her legal team and international observers expressing significant concern regarding her health and the lack of transparency surrounding her detention. The military government has faced widespread international condemnation for the coup and the subsequent suppression of democratic institutions. By releasing these images, the junta appears to be attempting to provide visual evidence of her status amid persistent rumors regarding her condition.

While the images confirm her presence in court, they provide little information regarding her current living conditions or the specific nature of her detention. The military continues to pursue various criminal charges against her, which supporters and human rights organizations characterize as politically motivated attempts to permanently remove her from the political landscape. The release of these photos marks a rare moment of visibility for the leader, who has remained largely absent from public view for months. The international community continues to call for her immediate release and the restoration of civilian government, though the military junta has shown no indication of yielding power.
