.waiwainu: Aung San Suu Kyi was my idol—now she's defending my people's genocide | Opinion
Having spent a quarter of my life as a political prisoner, I have witnessed the best and the worst of humanity. Last week, at the genocide hearings at the International Court of Justice at the Hague, I felt both of those emotions.
She was my idol. Last week I sat watching her in the International Court of Justice in The Hague as she turned her back on my people and defended and denied our genocide. But in court Aung San Suu Kyi could not even utter our name—Rohingya—when denying our atrocities and even our existence. A few days earlier, at the UN's highest court, she defended the crimes the Myanmar military committed against us.
We have never had the experience of the rule of law, fair trial and and open court system. Aung San Suu Kyi would have us believe that we should trust the perpetrators to investigate and police themselves. As someone who has been on the receiving end of their 'justice', that notion is laughable.
