The city council has withdrawn Myanmar de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s Freedom of Oxford honour over the Rohingya crisis, the BBC reports.

The Myanmar state chancellor was given the honour in 1997 for her ‘long struggle for democracy’.

However, in light of recent events, the Oxford City Council said it was ‘no longer appropriate’ for Suu Kyi to hold the honour.

Suu Kyi has faced international criticism for her handling of the Myanmar military crackdown in Rakhine state, which has forced nearly half a million Rohingyas to flee across the border to Bangladesh.

It was an ‘unprecedented step’ for the Oxford City Council, said council leader Bob Price, who supported the motion.

The council was ‘absolutely appalled’ by the crisis in Myanmar and called Suu Kyi’s response to it ‘extraordinary’.

Several other organisations are considering withdrawing the honours they awarded to Suu Kyi, said BBC world affairs editor John Simpson.

"I think it is perfectly natural to look around for ways of saying we disapprove utterly of what you are doing," he told BBC Radio Oxford.

St Hugh’s College, Oxford has already removed a portrait of the Myanmar leader it had displayed on the campus.

If Suu Kyi wouldn't have been there at helm, ten times more Rohingyas would have been killed.

Hardly likely.... she said she was unaware of the reasons rohingyas are going to Bangladesh and need to find out whats happening ....

The whore is dumb as well as being a racist bitch ..... there is zero proof to your idiotic pronouncement

Stripping that bitch woman of Freedom of Oxford honour is the right decision. She is no honourable person. All her other honours must be taken away. That includes also her Nobel Prize. She fooled the west by talking democracy. But, when it is time to prove her worth she instead killed innocent people and expelled the Muslims of her country only because of the typical Burmese xenophobia toward others who do not look like themselves. She is an extreme rightist trouble maker.
