NUEVA YORK, 6 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -El hijo de la dirigente opositora y Nobel de la Paz Aung San Suu Kyi, Kim Aris, está intentando obtener el visado para poder encontrarse con su madre en Birmania, según ha informado su abogado, Nyan Win.
Kim Aris se encuentra en Bangkok y espera poder viajar al país del sudeste asiatico donde se encuentra su madre, según declaraciones de Nyan Win recogidas por la cadena estadounidense CNN.
La última vez que Kim Aris vió a su madre fue en el año 2000, cuando pasó cerca de dos semanas con ella.
La que fue Nobel de la Paz en 1991 se encuentra bajo arresto domiciliario en Birmania y ha pasado la mayor parte de los últimos 20 años bajo disposición de las autoridades.
El partido de Suu Kyi, la Liga Nacional para la Democracia (LND), que obtuvo una victoria arrolladora en 1990 pero no pudo acceder al poder puesto que los militares birmanos anularon los votos, está boicoteando elecciones que se celebran este domingo.
El LND fue disuelto a principios de este año por la Junta Militar birmana cuando la insistencia por mantener a Suu Kyi en sus funciones hizo que no permitiesen que el partido se registrase como candidato en estas elecciones.

Ms Suu Kyi is due to be released when her detention ends on November 13, six days after Sunday’s historic elections, the first in 20 years.
Kim Aris, 33, has travelled to Bangkok hoping to see his mother for the first time in a decade, her lawyer said yesterday.
The intensely private Mr Aris, who shuns the limelight, has been denied a visa to visit his 65-year-old Nobel laureate mother many times since his last trip to see her in December 2000.
But Nyan Win, Ms Suu Kyi’s lawyer, said that Mr Aris had travelled to the Thai capital though he was unaware if he had obtained a visa already in London or was submitting an application to the Burmese embassy in Bangkok.
“I know only that Kim has arrived in Bangkok, but I do not know whether he is waiting for his mother’s release,” said Nyan Win. “We all believe that she will be released by November 13.”
Mr Aris’s father, the British academic Michael Aris, died of prostate cancer in 1999 at the age of 53 but was denied a visa to visit Ms Suu Kyi for the last three years of his life.
Since Mr Aris has also been refused visas so many times, it seems unlikely that he would have travelled to Thailand without some inkling he will be able to meet his mother, who has been in detention for 15 of the past 21 years.
Ms Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party was banned from taking part in Sunday’s election, branded sham democracy by many observers who maintain it is simply a ruse for the junta to cling to power
