Suu Kyi has been strongly criticised by the international community for failing to speak up publicly for the stateless Rohingya or to urge restraint on the military. Those “verified as refugees” will be “accepted without any problems and with full assurance of their security and access to humanitarian aid”, Suu Kyi said. In an address delivered entirely in English, Suu Kyi insisted army “clearance operations” finished on September 5 without any further militant attacks. Fresh satellite date published by Human Rights Watch on Tuesday purportedly shows 214 Rohingya villages in ashes. Many Facebook users changed their profile picture on Tuesday to carry a banner with a photo of ‘The Lady’and a message reading “We stand with you Daw Aung San Suu Kyi” — using an honorific.
