Amnesty International has withdrawn its Ambassador of Conscience award to Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The award is the rights body’s highest honour. Recipients include Nelson Mandela.
Amnesty International’s letter to Aung Suu Kyi says: “We are profoundly dismayed that you no longer represent a symbol of hope, courage, and the undying defence of human rights.”
