19 June 2026 – The Government of Chinland issued a birthday message marking the 81st birthday of detained Myanmar democracy leader and former State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, calling for her immediate release from military detention.
In a statement released on 19 June, the Chinland Council and Chinland Government wished Aung San Suu Kyi good health and expressed hope that she would soon regain her freedom after more than five years in detention following the military takeover in February 2021.
