Suu Kyi Is Under Attack Over Her Response to Rohingya Crisis

For decades Myanmar’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi was one of the globe’s most famous political prisoners, winning a Nobel Peace Prize and receiving tributes from world leaders and rock stars like U2’s Bono.

Now she’s under attack over her response to a fresh round of violence that has seen more than 145,000 minority Rohingya Muslims flee into neighboring Bangladesh since last month. Myanmar’s army said more than 400 people have died in the past few weeks and most of them are “militants,” while human-rights groups say hundreds of villagers have been killed.
