    Aung San Suu Kyi: Amnesty strips Myanmar leader of top prize

    • 12 November 2018 BBC
    "Amnesty International is stripping Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi of its highest honour, the Ambassador of Conscience Award.
    The politician and Nobel peace prize winner received the honour in 2009, when she was living under house arrest.
    The rights group said it was profoundly dismayed at her failure to speak out for the Rohingya minority, some 700,000 of whom have fled a military crackdown.
    This is the latest honour in a string of awards Ms Suu Kyi, 73, has lost."
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    As it is shown time and time again, the History's fulcrum of Good v Bad teeters on the miniscule
    balance of an individual or two.
    Had the assasination toppled Hitler, had Lenin's warnings against Stalin been heeded, had Suu Kyi
    applied the bile accumulated during 20+ years of detention to inflame the nation; the World may
    have had an easier passage into 21st century.

    Will the Nobel Committee revoke Obama's PP?
    He who says 'History will judge' is right.

    Cheers,
