Not that I'm in favour of military coups, but given her handling (or lack of handling) of the atrocities and slaughter perpetrated against the Rohingya minority, I'm certainly not about to celebrate her as some sort of embattled champion of human rights. This remains one of the most painful reads I can recall.

... Of course, I have little doubt that the people carrying out the coup had a hand on those same atrocities, or at least did nothing to prevent them.
