She turned out to be a coward and a collaborator with that very Military, a collaborator in the geocide of the Muslim minority of her own citizens.  I have no sympathy for her and that feeling seems to be widespread globally.  I don't hear much if any outrage and calls for her release from very many worldwide.

She’ll die in prison and become a martyr to the oppressed Burmese. Yet another own goal for the junta monkeys.
