Fall from grace: Aung San Suu Kyi defends Myanmar against genocide charge
from Front Burner
Aung San Suu Kyi won the Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle for freedom and democracy in Myanmar.

Today, on Front Burner, Mark Farmaner of the Burma Campaign U.K., brings us the story of the violent attacks against the Rohingya and why a once-revered human rights icon is now being called an apologist for ethnic violence.
