"Nobel laureate's silence on the genocide of Rohingyas is tantamount to complicity"

"In a genocide silence is complicity, and so it is with Aung San Suu Kyi and Burma’s desperate Rohingya community.

The current exodus of those seeking asylum is just one manifestation of genocide." "She once held enormous moral and political capital and had the chance to challenge the vile racism and Islamophobia which characterises Burmese political and social discourse.

This was never to be on Aung San Suu Kyi’s political agenda."
