I actually tried crossposting this to r/LeopardsAteMyFace ... this account lacked the karma to get through the gates, but this was the explanation I submitted with it:

>I was conflicted about posting this one: I realize that practically speaking, her ability to go against the will of the military was extremely limited. Still, she did enter into a power sharing arrangement with the military, refraining even from making strong public statements against the genocidal purging of the Rohingya, and oh look, you can't save yourself by reaching a supposed understanding with a bunch of face-eating leopards.

^({emphasis added})

? ^(?)?...if you're talking about her initial jailing, I actually don't really know the context—hopefully you or someone else can provide a quick 5¢ version

I would say that she failed to stand up for her values and disappointed pretty much everyone including I expect herself....but doing so would have been a grandly performative act of self-immolation, & likely not much else.

The military still held onto the reins of legislative power after her release, as well as the obvious superiority of force. Rather than spurring reform, resisting them too openly would've mainly had the effect of returning her to prison that much faster, with probably about the same number of dead Rohingya.

Her hands were truly tied there--I can only be so harsh on her for that

>A court found her guilty [on Friday] of corruption because she had not followed regulations in renting a helicopter for a government minister.

>She had already been convicted of 14 different crimes including breaching Covid public safety rules, importing walkie-talkies and violating the official secrets act.

Boy, that all sounds vague & spurious. Before I look into it: anybody think ASSK was criminally handing out joyrides in helicopters to the detriment of the nation?
