YANGON: An international gathering about the plight of Myanmar’s persecuted Rohingya Muslims boasts a star-studded cast, with three Nobel Peace Prize laureates among those calling on the world to wake up to the unfolding tragedy.
But fellow winner and pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi will not be among them. She wasn’t invited.
During her 15 years under house arrest, Suu Kyi won admiration across the globe for her fiery speeches and scathing criticism of the military regime that ruled Myanmar, or Burma, at the time.
After her release in 2010, when ruling generals handed over power to a nominally civilian government, she won a seat in parliament.
