Aung San Suu Kyi Condemned

The United Nations' outgoing human rights envoy for Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, has told Al Jazeera that the country's civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has failed to live up to her reputation as a humanitarian.

"We all knew that she was put on a pedestal or portrayed as the icon of democracy and human rights, but ever since [her party] has taken office [after a 2015 election] and ever since she took the office of the state councillor, all of her actions and her words, statements point otherwise,."

Lee she  she believed the Myanmar leader's inaction was "utterly disappointing", adding, "perhaps the world didn't really know who she was."
