The Dhaka Times Desk It is truly amazing to see how a man who was an international hero turns from a hero to a zero. After taking away various honors from around the world, France is taking away Souci's honorary medal!
Last year, Myanmar's army brutally massacred innocent Rohingya Muslims in Arakan state. On the other hand, at the center of the country's power is Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winning 'pro-democracy' leader. However, he has repeatedly defended the army's operation.
In such a situation, France has decided to withdraw the honorary medal of the city of Paris awarded to the leader of the ruling party of Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyi. Ann Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, announced the decision to cancel the award. The mayor's spokesperson confirmed this to the media. It has been reported that the city council will finalize this matter in mid-December.
Earlier, various organizations around the world, including the UK's second largest trade union Unison, suspended the honor given to Aung San Suu Kyi. A number of organizations have also signaled the withdrawal of Suu Kyi's honorary degrees and posts.
