The head of Aung San Suu Kyi's former Oxford college, Lady Elish Angiolini, has voiced support for calls from three ex-foreign secretaries for her release, stressing that the ousted leader, sentenced on dubious charges, deserves the opportunity to lead Myanmar once again. This appeal follows a back-and-forth tumult surrounding her management of the Rohingya crisis and her subsequent downfall under the repressive military regime. The scrutiny of Suu Kyi's past and leadership continues to ignite debate on justice in Myanmar.
The Independent's latest documentary, 'Cancelled: The rise and fall of Aung San Suu Kyi', delves into the complex narrative of the Nobel laureate’s journey, analyzing her struggles with Myanmar’s military and the controversies surrounding her refusal to acknowledge the violence against the Rohingya minority. It presents a comprehensive view of her significant yet flawed legacy, depicting her initial idolization and subsequent vilification, thus sparking discussions about her stance, her leadership's consequences, and the broader context of democracy in Myanmar.
