Aung sun su chi 'finally ' at the Hague

Gonegirl

Sorry I just noted your post.

Fair enough.

PS

You make a fair point regarding jumping to conclusion as to the findings.

Oh don't be so silly! Can't believe that stupid post!

God! Gransnet's getting on my pip today.

May I ' politely' ask do you take issue with the stance against Aung San Suu Kyi or do you not believe there has been genocide committed in Myanmar?

Lets see if she denies it ever happened, there is no reason for her to lie now.

If the military had thrown her in a dungeon, what could she have done for the Rohinga Muslims then?

Tomorrow will be interesting.

Yes Callistermon, you are right.

Well, no Gonegirl.
Let others die and look the other way.

But to go from defender of human rights to ignoring such abuse does make her Peace Prize questionable now.

I think we should wait for the court's findings.

She couldn't do much good for anyone if she was dead.

I have never understood her stance either. She is either duplicitous or an absolute coward intent on saving herself and not defending her people.
It makes a mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Thank you, POGS, for posting this update.

POGS I am so happy that you posted this thread. I visited Burma (as I still call it) not long after her release, we stayed 4 weeks and nobody had a bad word to say against her. Everyone idolised The Lady, as they called her. How she has let everyone down including herself. She could have taken a different road and done so much more for the suffering of the ordinary people rather support the terrible crimes the Rohingyas.

I am greatly puzzled by the stance taken by Aung San Suu Kyii regarding the treatment of the Rohingyas. It seems to go against everything she stood for in her resistance to the Generals' rule of Myanmar.

Perhaps her attendance at the court at The Hague will shed light on an otherwise incomprehensible defence of the indefensible.

A good OP POGS thank you.

I agree with everything you have said and share in your feelings about her still being viewed as a worthy recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

She wouldn't even be considered for it now so it should be withdrawn.

Thank you.

pogs we don’t often agree but I do in this case. When Aung san Sui Chi was under house arrest by the military, I write an assignment supporting both her father’s and her cause and came to the conclusion that unless or until there was outside intervention her position would never be resolved. How wrong I was!

It shows that you can never be sure what the future will bring,

I doubt if she was able to do anything at all about what happened to the Rohinga Muslims. But I am glad she is at the Hague. I think the Peace Prize should hang on what the judges there decide upon.
