Mark Farmaner of Burma Campaign UK, one of several former Aung San Suu Kyi supporters interviewed by the Washington Post, said that while Suu Kyi may be constrained by the political situation, there are many areas where she has the freedom to act and has not done so.
“There are problems which will take years to resolve, but freeing political prisoners, repealing repressive laws and ending aid restrictions to displaced Rohingya can be done now,” he said.
