Kim Aris, the son of Aung San Suu Kyi, takes part in a protest rally organized by Myanmar people residing in Japan denouncing an upcoming election led by the military junta and demanding the immediate release of Myanmar's detained former leader Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners, outside Myanmar's embassy in Tokyo on Sunday. Aris said he believes she is being held in the capital Naypyitaw, and in the last letter he received from his mother two years ago she complained about the extreme temperatures in her cell during the summer and winter months. He is trying to capitalise on the upcoming elections - the first since the coup which are set to be held in phases from December 28 - to get foreign governments like Japan to exert more pressure on the junta and call for his mother's release.
