Myanmar's Suu Kyi In Hague To Defend Against Rohingya Genocide Charges
The de facto leader of Myanmar will testify in front of the International Criminal Court to answer charges that her country carried out genocide against the Muslim minority group.
Aung San Suu Kyi, the de facto leader of Myanmar, will testify in front of the International Criminal Court on Wednesday, where she's set to mount a defense on behalf of her country to charges of genocide against minority Muslim Rohingya.
Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former longtime political prisoner, was once viewed globally as a champion of democracy and human rights. However, she is accused of standing by as Myanmar's military carried out a brutal crackdown on that 10,000 Rohingya deaths would be a "conservative estimate."
