Myanmar Suu Kyi Silence

Myanmar Suu Kyi Silence

FILE - In this Saturday, June 16, 2012 file photo, a girl and a woman carry bricks from damaged buildings in Sittwe, capital of Rakhine state in western Myanmar, after long-standing resentment between the Muslim Rohingya and Rakhine Buddhists erupted in bloody fury. She is known as the voice of Myanmar's downtrodden but there is one oppressed group that Aung San Suu Kyi does not want to discuss. For weeks, Suu Kyi has dodged questions on the plight of a Muslim minority known as the Rohingya, prompting rare criticism of the woman whose struggle for democracy and human rights in Myanmar have earned her a Nobel Peace Prize, and adoration worldwide.
