ANDREW SELTH<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the flood of articles, op-eds and commentaries that has been published since the February coup in Myanmar, surprisingly few have looked closely at the plight of ousted State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi. Yet, in some ways her fate is just as critical to the final outcome of the crisis as the current confrontation between the armed forces, or Tatmadaw, and the diverse elements arrayed against them, both inside and outside Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always when there are unexpected developments in Myanmar, there is a great deal that we do not know, a gap invariably filled by rumours, gossip and speculation. However, some facts are on the public record, permitting a few cautious conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not clear where she has been held since then. Some news media reports have claimed that, after a period confined to her home in Naypyidaw, she was moved to \u2018an undisclosed location\u2019<\/a>. Her rare court appearances since then have been via video link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
