Suu Kyi fans join VIP tours for Rohingya genocide trial
Ardent fans of Aung San Suu Kyi are snapping up spots on $2,000 tours to The Hague, in a display of moral support as Myanmar faces charges of genocide over the Rohingya crisis at the UN’s top court in December. Suu Kyi would personally represent Myanmar at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) where the once-lauded democracy champion will be defending the 2017 military crackdown against the Rohingya minority. One travel operator is organising a five-day tour to The Hague that includes visa and transportation as part of a $2,150 package. 20 or so people have so far signed up for the trip. West African nation Gambia will open its case at the ICJ on December 10 on behalf of the 57 member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
