IT is time for the Nobel Foundation - the very organisation responsible for awarding Aung San Suu Kyi the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 - to strip her of the award due to her failure to speak up against the mistreatment and atrocities committed against the Rohingya and other minorities in her own country.
For many weeks, we have witnessed many incidents involving the continuous and merciless prosecution of the Rohingya and the minorities. According to Amnesty International and other international human rights groups, the ethnic Rohingya people have continued to suffer from many human rights violations under the country’s military regime.
It’s very sad to see a well known and highly respected figure keeping her silence and behaving as if nothing has happened in her own backyard. (Courtesy of thestar.com.my)
