LONDON - The younger son of Myanmar's imprisoned pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi is calling for the country's military-led government to provide proof that she is alive, after it claimed in April that her sentence was commuted to around 17 years and that she had been moved to house arrest.

In an interview this week in London, where he resides, Kim Aris said he believes his octogenarian mother has not been moved to house arrest and is still in prison in the capital Naypyitaw, saying there hasn't been "any evidence" of a transfer.
