Honoured to meet Mayor Paolo Pilotto in Monza and receive the city’s gold medallion. Visiting the Duomo and seeing the Iron Crown - a symbol of endurance and sacrifice reminded me of my mother and the people of Burma still fighting for freedom. #Monza #FreeAungSanSuuKyi #Burma

I spoke today as a son — for my mother, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and for the people of Burma suffering under the junta’s cruelty. The world may look away, but they have not lost hope. Justice, freedom, and humanity must prevail. #FreeAungSanSuuKyi #JusticeForBurma

My foremost concern remains the safety and immediate release of my mother, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Her freedom and that of all political prisoners must be ASEAN’s and the world’s top priority. Without it, no election or reform can ever be legitimate. reuters.com/world/asia-pacif…

Just days after praying with monks for peace in Burma, I’m heartbroken by the deadly airstrikes on civilians during the Thadingyut festival. There can be no peace without humanity. May compassion guide us to end this suffering. 🕯️ amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…

Visited Tempio Musangam in Lerici — a small Theravāda Buddhist monastery with monks ordained in Burma 🇲🇲. Set halfway up a mountain, it’s a peaceful place for prayer and reflection. A humbling reminder that simplicity and faith can bring peace. facebook.com/tempio.musangam… #Burma

I joined a roundtable at the Basilica of Santa Cecilia with Religions for Peace (Italy), discussing how faith communities can unite to build peace in Burma. True peace begins with understanding and compassion across all faiths. #ReligionsForPeace #Burma #FaithForPeace

A moving moment in Italy - the entire Senate stood in applause when I was introduced as Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s son. Unity beyond politics for freedom and justice in Burma. #FreeAungSanSuuKyi

No one outside has seen my mother for over two years. Her health is worsening, but her spirit — and the people’s fight for freedom — remain unbroken. My interview with Asia Times: asiatimes.com/2025/10/son-of… #Myanmar #AungSanSuuKyi #Justice

Calling on China: I urged China to help free my mother. Releasing Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners is key to reconciliation and stability. #China has the power to make it happen. #FreeAungSanSuuKyi #StandWithMyanmar scmp.com/news/china/diplomac…

Kim Aris says Beijing would benefit from such a move, given its extensive investments in the war-torn, junta-led Southeast Asian country.

Wearing my brother’s 90s T-shirt. Back then, we relied on independent media to know about my mother, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, under junta detention. 30 years on, nothing has changed. Truth must live on. Support independent media. #KeepTruthAlive #FreeAungSanSuuKyi #Myanmar

Independent Media are Burma’s active force for democracy. On my birthday, my good deed is supporting the journalists who risk everything for truth. Truth needs allies. Your media. You’re media.

In Boston, I’m reminded of my father, Dr. Michael Aris, who stood by my mother in her fight for democracy. As Maymay said: “Fear is at the root of all division.” The junta divides to rule. We must unite to win. Unity is our strength and together, Myanmar will be free.

Met Acting President Duwa Lashi La. We discussed ways to end bloodshed, ensure stronger leadership, and demand freedom for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi & all political prisoners. We mourn the students killed in Kyauktaw. The junta must end its terror. No sham election can erase it.

Heartbroken by the military’s barbaric airstrike on two schools in Kyauktaw, where young students were killed in their sleep. We must find practical ways to end the bloodshed. The military must stop terrorising civilians before its scam election. apnews.com/article/army-airs…

Military airstrike on schools in western Myanmar kills at least 18 people, most of them students

An armed group and local media reports say Myanmar’s military has conducted an airstrike on two private schools in a village, killing at least 18 people, mostly students.

The junta dismisses my mother’s illness as a “rumor.” If that’s true, let me speak to her directly as proof. She is 80 years old, held in isolation, and denied basic rights. Anything less than dignity, transparency, and freedom is cruel and indefensible.
