Following Aung San Suu Kyi's move from house arrest to Insein Prison on 22 June Special Envoy of the ASEAN Chair on Myanmar, H.E. Prak Sokhonn, called on the junta to let her rerturn home due to her poor health.

He urged the State Administration Council (SAC) to heed the 'deep concern expressed by ASEAN colleagues' ot the news that Aung San Suu Kyi had been moved to prison.

In a letter to letter to H.E. Wunna Maung Lwin, the junta Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Prak Sokhonn, who is also the Spokesperson of the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said: “I would like to echo the voice of our ASEAN colleagues in urging the State Administrative Council of Myanmar to exercise compassion and facilitate the return of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to the home where she was originally detained, in consideration of her fragile health and well-being, as well as fair and judicious practice of the rule of law. 

“We all share the view that a peaceful national reconciliation cannot be expected when one party to the conflict is taken out of the resolution equation,” said the ASEAN Chair Special Envoy, underlining that “Therefore, all our ASEAN colleagues strongly encourage the State Administrative Council of Myanmar to begin an inclusive process of national reconciliation without further delay”.

A peaceful political resolution to a conflict, no matter how complex it is, must involve the sharing of political space by all involved, he added.

Prak Sokhonn will make his second trip to Myanmar from Wednesday, a Cambodian foreign ministry spokesman confirmed to AFP late Monday without elaborating.

He last travelled to the Southeast Asian nation in March, meeting with junta chief Min Aung Hlaing in an attempt to kickstart stalled dialogue between the military and its opponents.

Myanmar remains isolated on the international stage, with Cambodia's leader Hun Sen the only foreign head of state to visit since the putsch.
