Amnesty Retracts from the Ambassador of Conscience Award
International elimination of North withdrew the 'Magnity of Conscience' award awarded to the Aung San Bae Suzy Myanmar National Advisory Service in 2009 for watching the Maungdaw massacre of Myanmar.
“We are deeply disappointed that you are no longer a symbol of hope, courage, and eternal human rights Suho,” Kumi Naidu, Secretary General of the International elimination of North, said in an open letter to Bae Suzy, a consultant on Thursday. “The denial of the scale and severity of the atrocities (on Maungdaw) means that the situation is unlikely to improve,” he added. “We can no longer justify our status as ambassadors of conscience.”
Bae Suzy Advisor was released in 2010 after nearly 15 years under house arrest while fighting against a military regime as leader of the Myanmar Democratization Movement. International elimination of North declared Bae Suzy Advisor as "conscience number" in 1989 and awarded the organization's highest honor, Ambassador of Conscience Award in 2009.
However, Bae Suzy Advisory Station has been criticized by the international community for neglecting or denying that thousands of Maungdaw died and more than 700,000 escaped to Bangladesh last year due to the Myanmar campaign.
The state, organizations and universities that have awarded honorary degrees, citizenship and awards to Bae Suzy Advisors are withdrawing them in succession. The Canadian Senate unanimously stripped the honorary citizenship granted to Bae Suzy Advisory Service on February 2. In October last year, the British city of Oxford withdrew its honorary citizenship qualification for Bae Suzy Advisory Station, and its alma mater Oxford University removed his portrait, which was installed at the main gate of St Hughes College.
