The City of London Corporation (CLC) on Thursday revoked an honour granted to Aung San Suu Kyi over the treatment of minority Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. Elected representatives on the body that runs London's historic centre and financial district voted to revoke the freedom of the city granted to Suu Kyi three years ago. This move in the United Kingdom followed Suu Kyi's appearance, as Myanmar's civilian leader, at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague in December to personally defend her country against allegations of rape, arson and mass killings against Rohingya victims. "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". She attended the award ceremony herself during a tour of Europe, but faced protests even then at the plight of the Rohingya. Previous recipients of the honour include Britain's wartime leader Winston Churchill, anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, and scientist Stephen Hawking. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/city-london-revokes-honour-granted-myanmar-suu-kyi-200305152434073.html

Aung San Suu Kyi really disappointed a lot of us.I remember the days when she was under incaceration by the Myanmar military junta and how the world rallied for her freedom and she even received a Nobel Peace prize.I can't believe she turned out to become the direct opposite of what she stood for back then. |

Rubbish. Islam is not indigenous to Myanmar. Myanmar is a Buddhist state. They should persecute whoever they feel like. Mumu London that have embraced Pakistani muslims they will soon see themselves. Those knifeing going on in the streets of London is a tip of what's to come |
