Claiming that Aung San Suu Kyi has chosen to turn a blind eye to the genocide taking place in her country to retain her political power, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Iran’s Shirin Ebadi said on Thursday that their fellow laureate has sold her soul to the devil. “I urged her to take a stance breaking her silence, but Suu Kyi didn’t reply to any of them.”Suu Kyi appears to have forgotten how she suffered when she was under house arrest. Urging for a peaceful solution, Mairead Maguire said dialogue and diplomacy are very important to solve the Rohingya crisis and the role played by Bangladesh is a model for the world. “We want to find states that have passion for human rights and justice,” she added. The three Nobel laureates – Tawakkol Karman of Yemen, Shirin Ebadi of Iran and Mairead Maguire of Northern Ireland – came to Bangladesh on a week-long visit to see the Rohingya situation on the ground.
