Aung San Suu Kyi says Myanmar does not fear scrutiny over Rohingya crisis

Aung San Suu Kyi has broken her silence on the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar, delivering a speech denounced as a “mix of untruths and victim-blaming” by Amnesty International.

In her first public address since a bloody military crackdown on the Rohingya Muslim minority that has been branded “a textbook example of ethnic cleansing” by the United Nations, the Nobel laureate did not criticise the army and said she did not “fear international scrutiny”.

“I’m aware of the fact that the world’s attention is focused on the situation in Rakhine state. As a responsible member of the community of nations Myanmar does not fear international scrutiny,” she said.

“There have been allegations and counter-allegations … We have to make sure those allegations are based on solid evidence before we take action,” she said in her speech from the capital, Naypyidaw.

Maybe the Peace Laureate in Stockholm should strip this individual of that recognition

post award and petition for the awarders to set up a post-Peace Prize Award Good Behavior clause.

I don't think there is any procedure or precedent for taking such an action.
