More from Aung San Suu Kyi
"It would not be helpful for the international legal order if the impression takes hold that only resource-rich countries can conduct adequate domestic investigations and prosecutions."
"No one told me I was going to be interviewed by a Muslim."
"There are allegations and counter-allegations, and we have to make sure that these allegations are based on solid evidence."
"I'm not a very emotional person in public. But I have strong feelings."
"(Refused to use the word 'Rohingya', instead using 'Muslim' or 'Bengali' to describe the community)."
About Aung San Suu Kyi (born 1945)
Burmese pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace laureate (1991) who spent 15 years under house arrest before her party's 2015 election win. Closely associated with Václav Havel (Czech dissident-turned-president) and Nelson Mandela (the moral-leader template she was often compared to). For an intellectual contrast, see Min Aung Hlaing, Myanmar military commander-in-chief — deposed Suu Kyi in the 2021 coup and continues to detain her — the institutional military power her movement spent decades resisting.
