This is what happens when tyrants determine a free press is the enemy of the people.

Well, there's no more going back for her. If she attacks journalists, she definitively did a 180, and became what she was fighting.
The Nobel comity said there were no rule to take back a prize for someone, but they should think about creating it !

The Nobel committee said there were no rule to take back a prize for someone, but they should think about creating it ! Yes quickly and first one to be looked at is Obama for he never did anything for peace and presided over destruction of Libya and murders of thousands of civilians there.

she's a war criminal and should be treated as such

I'm no fan of what's going on but people don't seem to realize just how little power Suu Kyi has, Myanmar is still heavily controlled by the military who is instigating these attacks and probably discouraging her to speak out against it, the military is also a separate branch that she has barely any control over. She probably doesn't like what's happening but realizes that full democracy will take time and if she and her party are too aggressive then the military will simply find a way to dispose of them and revert the government. It's a very complicated situation and Myanmar is still in the infancy of its new democracy with a lot of baggage left over from the junta era.

Tbh i don't think anyone (international community, pollies, journos, ngo etc) expect her to 'do' something about Rohingyas' situation. They/we just would like her to side with the victims, take a stand, offer moral support etc something she's done/was good at when she was under house arrest. It just seems that Rohingyas aren't worth fighting for.
She looks possessed in this pic btw.

Yesterday's heroine is today's villain? Kind of shows how mindless adulation for someone because they do one good thing can be misplaced.

Absolutely no excuse. I have no power to stop the Trump regime from stealing immigrant children and putting them in concentration camps but I still found the courage to speak out about it.
When you're a direct witness to evil on that scale, it doesn't matter if you personally can actually stop it or not. It doesn't matter if you are afraid of the consequences or not. If you can't muster up the courage to say something, then you cannot claim to be a moral person.
What exactly gave you the idea that people who respected Suu Kyi before this crisis began mindlessly adulated her? Or is that nothing more than a convenient slur to justify imagining yourself as superior?
