Yanghee Lee, the United Nations investigator of human rights abuses in Myanmar, has expressed deep disappointment in Aung San Suu Kyi for her indifferent response to the Rohingya crisis. Child rights expert Yanghee Lee of South Korea was appointed to her United Nations human rights post in 2014, reports the New York Times. “She [Suu Kyi] has not ever recognised that there is such a people called Rohingya — that’s a starting point. Without mentioning the word Rohingya, she said carefully-worded lines of condemnation, saying that Myanmar has “never been soft on human rights”. Human Rights Watch reports they could not obtain any comments on this issue from any government spokesperson.
