Four Corners: Mar 29

Monday’s Four Corners episode is a BBC produced report on Myanmar’s coup and criticisms of leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

In the early hours of February 1 this year, Myanmar’s military launched a textbook coup, arresting the Nobel Prize winning political leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, and many of her colleagues.

Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy MPs had been due in parliament to confirm their landslide election victory over the military backed opposition. Instead, her arrest signalled that Myanmar’s generals were back in charge, undoing years of political and diplomatic manoeuvring that had forced them to relinquish control.

In this provocative portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi, some of those who once publicly supported her say she lost her credibility during her time in power.
