Aung San Suu Kyi

An Argentine court considers Aung San Suu Kyi complicit in the Rohingya genocide of 2017. The NUG rejects that – and, worryingly, so do some Rohingya advocacy groups.

The National Unity Government must be honest with the public about what the recent arrest warrant application does – and does not – entail.

The region's Nobel laureates have all been non-state actors whose advocacy has aligned with the narratives of Western powers.

How the "best laid plans" of Aung San Suu Kyi's civilian government went awry.

During his long career, Tin Oo played important roles on both sides of the struggle between the military and the pro-democracy movement.

Myanmar's ousted leader was reportedly whisked out of jail during a heatwave.

A junta spokesperson said that the 78-year-old leader was relocated due to the intense heat in Myanmar's central plain.

The lakeside villa, where Aung San Suu Kyi spent more than 15 years under house arrest, will go under the hammer on March 20.

"The difference to the past," says economist Sean Turnell, "is that this junta does not seem to even pretend anymore that it has any sort of vision for Myanmar."

The move is part of a strategy aimed at normalizing the junta's relations with the outside world - or at least with ASEAN.

That the generals felt the need to offer pardons – albeit largely empty ones – of top NLD leaders suggests that the junta is feeling the heat from international isolation.

Despite the minor reduction in her prison sentence, the 78-year-old Nobel laureate still faces 27 years in prison.

The 78-year-old leader is now reportedly being detained at a government building in Naypyidaw.

Having finally scaled the pinnacle of his country's politics, will political compromises now undermine Anwar's dream of a genuinely democratic Malaysia?

Aside from further embittering the population toward the military junta, the disbanding of the former ruling party is unlikely to have much impact on Myanmar's downward trajectory.

New convictions extend the NLD leader's prison term, an effort critics of the military government say is designed to keep her from contesting elections planned for 2023.

Sean Turnell was sentenced alongside Aung San Suu Kyi, whom he served as an economic adviser prior to her overthrow last year.

In the midst of a nationwide struggle, many foreign governments are still acting as if the country can return to its previous "democratic" path.

A conviction could lead to her party being dissolved and unable to participate in a new election the military has promised will take place in 2023.

This week, Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn will begin his second official mission to the country as the bloc's special envoy.

The ousted leader's transfer came as the military administration's defense minister attended an ASEAN meeting in Cambodia.

The sentence is designed to legitimize the military's seizure of power while keeping the 76-year-old elected leader from returning to an active role in politics.

The relatively large number of female leaders in Asia appears surprising given their general paucity globally.

Professor Sean Turnell had worked as an economic policy advisor to ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
