A spectacular fall from grace for the Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Myanmar's State Counselor Aun Sang Suu Kyi speaks during a meeting with citizens as part of 68th Kayah State Day anniversary events in the state capital Loikaw on January 15,2020.

For her former admirers, Suu Kyi's defence only underlined her responsibility for failing to at least speak out in defence of the Rohingya. She won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize, cited for being “one of the most extraordinary examples of civil courage in Asia in recent decades.” As the magnitude of the Rohingya tragedy emerged, 1984 Nobel Peace laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu felt compelled to appeal to Suu Kyi.

“She was becoming an apologist for the military so she could hold onto her power and get re-elected. She simply could not tolerate any dissent, even from her long-time friends and supporters like myself.” “It hampers our ability to lay the foundation for sustainable development in a very diverse country.”
