seems strange but could she face charges i wonder...

I sincerely hope so.

[emmie]

will she be up on charges that could take her to the Hague?
seems not a while ago she was up for a Nobel Prize, what happened in the meantime...

It is the army that is responsible for the genocide,but Suu Kyi is afraid to do anything because she is only in power at the will of the army.

[emmie]

so she in part responsible.

[dannyk13]

By not doing anything to stop it , yes.

[kvalidir]

The thing is it's easy to be everyone's hero when you are the underdog, but as soon as that changes and it's you in charge, there are difficult decisions to make and predictably all of her high morals disappeared when her own position was threatened and she oversaw a genocide as a result of that. As such I have no sympathy whatsoever, she has overseen a great evil in the interests of herself and people as an ethnic and religious group she feels affiliated with.

Does anyone remember that 'speech' she gave a few months back?
She could have been brave and denounced the military with the world watching on.
However, I agree with kval.

I think she could, should and will be prosecuted, probably easier to get her out of the country and take her to The Hague than it would be to get any of the generals.

Had she done that she would have been back under arrest while the rest of the world did nothing.

[albaqwerty]

or even worse Danny, one bullet whilst the world still sat and did nothing.

[dannyk13]

That would be a possibility.It is easy to criticise her, but she is in an intolerable position,

this makes for interesting reading.

That's a fairly slanted,disgusting and apologist article Dave, that doesn't even stand up to the scrutiny of common sense. 1 vs 10 never wins. Ever. The Rohingya might not be 100% innocent but neither are they any sort of credible threat to anyone.
''The Rohingya are not innocent, the Burmese people are defending themselves, their country, their identity, their religion, their existence.''
By chopping off babies heads and setting fire to toddlers? Really??? Really is that how people ;'defend themselves, their country and their identity'? Not in my f3cking world they don't without being called to book about it and I hope that they are.

The problem is we only hear the bbc and sky news side of things, and we know how biased they are.

[kvalidir]

No we really don't, we bother to obtain our information from credible sources not 'defendeuropa.org' which is an anti immigrant, anti Islam, right wing online rag. Frankly i';m staggered you used that as a credible reference.
Try Amnesty International if you want the real truth about Myanmar, they are fairly impartial. https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/asa16/7288/2017/en/

// Does anyone remember that 'speech' she gave a few months back? //

the Beeb interview was funnier ( er sorry about that )
the adoring Beeb interviewer who had stars in his eyes and was in awe of her was unable to believe her answers and couldnt cope with the unholy tenor of her replies - like
Beeb: but they are being locked up without trial just as you were !
Aun San etc. No they are criminals and deserved to be punished
Beeb but the camps are like concentration camps
Aun again: yeah I should know I was in one once - now it is their turn
Beeb - but it is so unjust
Aun - lots of injustice in this world and anyway we call it liberation .....

No she isnt in charge - she doesnt even have a title does she ?
so it could be very difficult to make her liable

yeah why cant Donald Trump tweet about this and tell us what to think
he is a man you can really believe
