MYANMAR’S civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi has washed her hands of the Rohingya crisis, a UN rights investigator said today ahead of a meeting between South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in and the tarnished democracy icon.
Yanghee Lee, a university professor in Seoul who is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights to Myanmar, said Suu Kyi was “terribly misguided and misinformed” about the abuses against the stateless Muslim minority in her country.
