She has been disappointing, but we don't know what happened to her, while she was under arrest for so many years.

Didn't Canada revoke her citizenship?

Transparency? You must be kidding.

It's far worse than is reported and not just limited to one ethnic grouping.

More than 300,000 people were driven from their homes, and hundreds of villagers were tortured, killed and raped in circumstances similar to those the Rohingya suffer.

The Burma government locked up 2 reporters for releasing state secrets, that being the sanctioned purge of minority groups, using rape, murder and destruction of dwellings. Yet Japan welcomes their advocate? That's not good.

Yet Japan welcomes their advocate? 

In the quest for resources (including oil and gas, among others), Japan, like the US, Russia, China and other economic powers adopts a pagan ethos, ignoring ethics and morality. Pagan ethea have underlain international trade for millennia.

She used to be a beacon of hope, an international icon, brave, but now she's just brazen, betraying the trust that millions of us supporters and well-wishers placed in her campaign for freedom and human rights. She has calculated on compromise and is now actively cooperating with the fascist military that continue to run the show from behind the flimsy facade of Asian democracy. Now she belongs in the dock in the Hague and the dustbin of history, her reputation ruined for all time.

I'm not sure she pulls the strings. Whether she could have stopped what happened is doubtful given that the military still runs its own show in Myanmar. What happened was terrible but I'm not prepared to pull it all at her feet.
