@Ms Meghan: I think they'd only have to do it once, and the rest of the men would think twice before raping someone! Men can be pretty attached to their nuts. ;) #violenceagainstwomen
It sounds like this guy was a very determined stalker. Or an employee of the government. Aung San Suu Ky is a hero. I like to think that I would be willing to suffer for what I believe but I know that I could never have the courage and determination that she has. Her steadfast determination in the face of brutality is amazing. She is a living rebuke to the junta.
If something hadn't happened, the Burmese government would've made something happen, or said something happened. This is already an unbelievable flimsy excuse backed up by no actual legal reasoning--are people really blaming this lunatic (and somehow, by proxy, all Americans), as if the junta wouldn't have pulled some other shit out of thin air if he didn't exist? They do not want this woman free, and no single individual actions are going to change that one way or the other.
@Katxyz: yes. its incredibly naive to think, "oh if only this hadn't happened! she'd be free at the end of the month! cruel cruel fate." as I stated above I really believe this was orchestrated in some way. It's too convenient and bizarre.
What a jackass. Like Aung San Suu Kyi doesn't have enough problems.
Burma singlehandedly proves the saying that "Good will triumph over evil when the angels start to organize like the Mafia." Those junta wankers are never going to just give up uncontested power without a fight.
Not to be all conspiracy theorist but this smells to high heaven. This random guy just happens to get into her place in violation of some obscure law 2 weeks before her detention period was coming to an end? come on now.
