The US Holocaust Museum is stripping Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi (CHI) of a prestigious human rights accolade for her courageous leadership and great personal sacrifice in advancing the freedom and dignity of the Burmese people."
The Museum said it is rescinding the award due to Suu Kyi’s inaction to condemn and stop the military’s brutal campaign targeting the Rohingya population.
Suu Kyi’s party the National League for Democracy has obstructed journalists from reporting on the atrocities committed against the Rohingya people and added to the anti-Rohingya sentiment by refusing to cooperate with UN investigators.
