Suu Kyi
inaction over Rohingya atrocities a cowardly response
Myanmar continues to commit atrocities against the Rohingya
while Aung San Suu Kyi continues to look the other way.
There are reports of children being thrown into burning
buildings and woman being raped. And a reporter was arrested for reporting
these crimes. More than 3,000 Rohingya have fled their homes, some of them to
neighbouring Bangladesh, where the UN’s top refugee official has labelled the
Myanmar military’s actions ethnic cleansing.
For years I’ve been arguing that Suu Kyi is nothing but a
hypocrite and a coward and now she is window dressing for a government that is
clearly run by a murderous military. Whatever international economic sanctions
that were removed from the “reform” government should be immediately
reinstated.
