Suu Kyi fails again in the front

08 May 2019, 20:54 BDT

The Reuters journalists Wai Lone and Kia Soei, were released in Myanmar on Tuesday. But the case against them has spoiled Myanmar State Counselor and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi in peace. Because, as a democratic leader she did not protect journalists. He was also silent about the Rohingya persecution. But this Suu Kyi was once on the side of the media.

When Suu Kyi was under house arrest during the military junta's rule in Myanmar, foreign media representatives spread the message of her peaceful protests throughout the world. Comparing with the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, his image has been brightened. But after the formation of his party government by winning the landslide victory in the general elections in 2015, he changed. In his fight for democracy, his supporters initially said that Suu Kyi's control over the military is very rare. But Suu Kyi's friends and supporters became stunned by the security forces not criticizing the army for torturing the Rohingyas in the Rakhine state. Because, while mentioning the UN's Rakhine incident as 'an example of ethnic cleansing', Suu Kyi remained silent ever since. At one stage his mouth was open to the army.

These two journalists were released after 511 days in prison. Myanmar journalists returned joy and relief through their release. But this incident brought Suhana's failure back to the fore again.

Human rights organizations have criticized Suu Kyi for failing to stop the two Reuters journalists who were victimized. Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch of Asia, said that Suu Kyi has consistently denied cooperation in this situation. Media freedom in Myanmar is a big issue. In the meantime, the good anti-bullying attitudes towards the media have become a big day.

After Suu Kyi came to power, the media situation in Myanmar was once again back in the time of the military junta. Threats on journalists and their insecurity increased. In the year 2017, 20 journalists were tried in a controversial law. In addition, Suu Kyi has been criticized for supporting wrong information on the Rohingya crisis at the same time.

But Suu Kyi's hardline supporters still say that the army control of 25 percent of the parliament seats. So the Suyu hands and feet tied to this force.
