Amnesty International is stripping Myanmar's de facto leader Un sun su kyi of its highest honour, the Ambassador of Conscience Award.
The Nobel Peace Prize recipient and politician received the Conscience Award in 2009; however, Amnesty International said it was dismayed at her failure to speak out against the military crackdown on Myanmar’s ethnic Rohingya minority.
The Nobel Prize Winner has since faced growing international pressure to condemn the army's alleged brutality against the Rohingya. However, she has refused to do so.
