In a recent interview with Asia Times, Aris spoke about his politically imprisoned mother, her legacy and the ongoing struggle for democracy that she still embodies and represents.
Kim Aris: I don’t think anybody outside of the prison or the military has seen her for over two years, at least.
He was one of the last people to have actually seen her as far as I’m aware, among outsiders that is.
Kim Aris: The military was actually very upset with what she did, and what she did was very brave.
Asia Times: Your mother turned 80 on June 19 this year, which is quite an advanced age.
