VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis has provided to present refuge on Vatican territory to Myanmar‘s detained former chief Aung San Suu Kyi, Italian media stated on Tuesday. “I requested for the discharge of Aung San Suu Kyi and I met her son in Rome. I’ve proposed to the Vatican to present her shelter on our territory,” the pope stated in line with an account of conferences with Jesuits in Asia throughout his journey there.
The Corriere della Sera every day printed an article by Italian priest Antonio Spadaro giving extracts from these non-public conferences, which befell in Indonesia, East Timor and Singapore between Sept 2 and 13. “We can not keep silent in regards to the state of affairs in Myanmar at the moment. We should do one thing,” the pope is reported as saying. Suu Kyi, 78, is serving a 27-year jail sentence on expenses starting from graft to not respecting Covid pandemic curbs.
