Located in the crumbling Indian Ocean port of Sittwe, Shwe Zedi was the monastery of U Ottama, a revered monk whose pacifist resistance against the colonial British inspired independence hero Aung San, father of Suu Kyi. In 2002, this was one of the few places the Nobel Peace Prize winner visited between stints of house arrest, and she called for political change from its lawn. Then, two years ago this month...
