Canada’s parliament has stripped Myanmar’s president, Aung San Suu Kyi of her honorary Canadian citizenship for her complicity in the Rohingya Crisis which is believed to have strong genocidal tones. She becomes the first person to have her honorary Canadian citizenship revoked on Tuesday. The Symbolic honour was bestowed on her in 2007 for her fight to help Myanmar attain Democracy and with a unanimous vote passed by the Senate, was divested of the honour. The upper house’s move follows a similar unanimous vote in the House of Commons last week. A United Nations fact-finding mission reported last month Myanmar’s military has systematically killed thousands of Rohingya civilians, burned hundreds of their villages, and engaged in ethnic cleansing and mass gang rape. It called for top generals to be investigated and prosecuted for genocide. ALSO READ: More Than Two Scores Killed In Ethiopia Ethnic Crisis The Senate has also followed the lead of the Commons in recognising that the crimes against humanity committed by the Myanmar military against the Rohingya constitute a genocide. ‘We must recognise this atrocity for what it is,’ said Senator Ratna Omidvar, who introduced the motion to revoke Aung San Suu Kyi’s citizenship on Tuesday. ‘It is genocide. We must call it as it is.’ Illustrious past; ‘shining light’ now dimming Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for her fight for democracy in Myanmar. ‘At that point, she was a champion for change and human rights … The world pinned its hope on her as the shining light and hope for a democratic and peaceful Myanmar,’ said Omidvar. ‘As we all now know, that was not to be.’ Omidvar said Aung San Suu Kyi has denied the atrocities, restricted access to international investigators and journalists, defended the military and denied humanitarian aid for the Rohingya. ‘We need to send a strong signal here in Canada and around the world that if you’re an accomplice of genocide, you are not welcome here. Certainly not as an honorary Canadian citizen.’

PREDSTAVNICA oporbe Mianmara Aung San Suu Kyi proslavila je u subotu sama u kućnom pritvoru 59. rođendan dok se više stotina članova njezine stranke zajedno molilo u Rangunu za njezino skoro oslobođenje. Više od 400 simpatizera iz cijelog Mianmara okupilo se pred prostorijama stranke Aung San Suu Kyi, Nacionalne lige za demokraciju (LND, gdje su budistički redovnici molili za oslobađanje dobitnice Nobelove nagrade za mir. Aktivistica za ljudska prava i čelnica oporbe u Minamaru, Aung San Suu Kyi uhićena je nakon napada na njezin konvoj 30. lipnja 2003. na sjeveru Mianmara, nakon čega su je vladine sigurnosne snage prebacile u tajno skrovište, a zatim joj je određen kućni pritvor, treći puta od početka njezine borbe za demokraciju 1988. godine. Glasnogovornik glavne oporbene stranke je rekao da se neće predati prije no što postignu oslobođenje Aung San Suu Kyi kao i svih političkih zatvorenika. Organizacije za obranu ljudskih prava ocijenjuju da se oko 1.300 političkih zatvorenika nalazi u zatvorima vojnog režima, koji je na vlasti u Mianmaru dulje od 40 godina. (Hina) xtm ysd
