Aung San Suu Kyi, Freedom of the City of Oxford Award has been withdrawn in the face of thousands of Rohingya fleeing in the face of suppression of Myanmar's Rakhine army.
Oxford City Council of the United Kingdom, in recognition of his long struggle for the establishment of Myanmar's democracy, was honored by the Oxford City Council in 1997.
However, the BBC's decision to pass a resolution to the City Council is "not appropriate" for now and for the BBC.
Bob Price, leader of the Oxford City Council supporting the withdrawal of Suu Kyi, said that people are "very angry" about the situation in Myanmar and it is very unusual to say no to the news of barbarism in the country.
Last week, Suu Kyi's portrait was removed from St. Hugh College of Oxford University. A painting of Japanese painter has been put in place at the entrance of the main building of the college.
