FILE - In this March 30, 2016 file photo, Aung San Suu Kyi, right, and Htin Kyaw, second from right, newly elected president of Myanmar, attend a ceremony to take oaths in parliament in Naypyitaw, Myanmar. For nearly 30 years, Aung San Suu Kyi starred as arguably the world’s most prominent and revered political prisoner, a courageous champion of human rights and democracy in her military-ruled nation. As she completes her first 100 days in power, the Nobel Prize laureate’s halo has all but vaporized on the global stage: Suu Kyi is being assailed for ignoring the plight of the oppressed Rohingya Muslims, failing to stop atrocities against other ethnic minorities and abetting moves to erase from collective memory the bloody history of the generals she replaced.
