Again I make no apologies for raising / bumping a thread concerning Aung San Suu Kyi and out of respect to others poster who have taken the time to over the years to engage so many times in the Rohinga Muslim /Aung San Suu Kyi threads in the past I put forward their contributions for those interested in her to read if they wish to in a couple of the threads.

I have banged on about the fact some institutions/organisations have taken away their awards given to Aung San Suu Kyi but the Nobel Peace Prize still remains in her name which is shocking.
Yesterday, 5th March 2020 the City Of London revoked the Freedom of the City given to her 3 years ago. :-
"Today's unprecedented decision reflects the City Corporation's condemnation of the humanitarian abuses carried out in Myanmar," said David Wootton, chair of the CLC committee that deals with Honorary Freedoms.
"The argument for the removal of the award had been much strengthened by Aung San Suu Kyi's close association with Myanmar's government at the [Hague] hearing, as well as her lack of response [to the committee's letters]," he said.
Suu Kyi was originally awarded the honour, which dates back to 1237, in May 2017 in recognition of her "non-violent struggle over many years for democracy and her steadfast dedication to create a society where people can live in peace, security and freedom".---
Amnesty International joined many others in stripping Aung San Suu Kyi of its highest honour, the Ambassador of Conscience Award a while ago too.
The question remains ' How on earth is she still a Nobel Peace Prize Winner'
