Myanmar leader uses first appearance since damning verdict of investigators to discuss literature
The world was waiting for her to speak. But the day after a damning UN report concluded that genocide had occurred in Myanmar under her watch, Aung San Suu Kyi used a public appearance to discuss only poetry and literature.
Arriving at Yangon university 24 hours after the publication of the UN fact-finding report, which concluded that the Myanmar military had carried out a genocide of the Rohingya in Rakhine and were responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Rakhine, Shan and Kachin states, Myanmar’s leader chose to stay silent on all issues of politics and made no mention of the UN.
