News that later today (UK time) the City of Edinburgh may revoke their Freedom of
the City award to Aung San Suu Kyi has apparently prompted her to reconsider
her policy of refusing to give citizenship to the Rohingya.
Her lawyer and close advisor, Michael Marett Circleby, as usual
speaking to media on condition of anonymity, told Burma Tha Din that although
she might not show it, Aung San Suu Kyi is actually very concerned by the
removal of many awards in response to her defence of the mass rape and
slaughter of Rohingya villagers.
“We managed to avoid legal action at the international
criminal court, the suspension of aid to the government, and economic
sanctions, but these awards keep being revoked and it’s just not fair,” said
Marett Circleby “Everyone expects the impossible and should just go away and
leave her alone.”
Organisations which have revoked awards to Aung San Suu Kyi
said that this justified their decision to remove the awards whilst not doing
anything else to help the Rohingya or anyone else in Burma.
