She had her hands tied behind her back figuratively.

At The Hague? Didn’t seem like it. She also took issue when a Pakistani “Muslim” was interviewing her. There’s no way to revise the fact that she was complicit, and the Burmese who are now asking for help, were actively supporting the genocide.

Yup. Truth hurts sometimes, but is nonetheless true.

That's bad of course, but that doesn't mean she agreed with murdering people and mainly in some of the most heinous ways possible. On top of that, many who are asking for help were kids at that time of the genocide who were brainwashed, that's not exactly fair to say they supported genocide.

She’s a Bamar nationalist, who thought removing Rohingya was part of nation building. At no point did she show remorse nor say anything against the genocide. She was not silent. She openly supported the military and justified it by referring to fear of muslims taking over. Even as late as December 2020, she didn’t allow the Rohingya to vote in the national election.

“You know she’s actually a really decent person, if we ignore that tiny genocide she supported. Also, there were fine people on both sides anyways, so case dismissed”, random redditors. 🤷♂️
