										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span class="intro-text">The lawmakers of the British city of Oxford unanimously voted yes to take back the honorary award of the city from Burmese politician Aung San Suu Kyi who shows no sympathy over the anti-Muslim genocide in her country.</span></strong></p>
<div class="full-text">
<p dir="LTR">Oxford City Council in England has officially removed an honorary award presented to Myanmar’s state counselor and de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, reported Anadolu News Agency of Turkey.</p>
<p dir="LTR">Local lawmakers voted unanimously to strip her of the City of Oxford award over Suu Kyi’s response to the atrocities waged against the country’s Muslim minority since September<span dir="RTL">.</span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span dir="RTL">&#8220;</span>When Aung San Suu Kyi was given the Freedom of the City in 1997 it was because she reflected Oxford&#8217;s values of tolerance and internationalism,” the municipality &#8212; home to some of the world’s most prestigious universities &#8212; said in a statement after Monday&#8217;s evening vote<span dir="RTL">.</span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span dir="RTL">&#8220;</span>We celebrated her for her opposition to oppression and military rule in Burma,” it added. &#8220;Today we have taken the unprecedented step of stripping her of the city&#8217;s highest honor because of her inaction in the face of oppression of the minority Rohingya population<span dir="RTL">.&#8221;</span></p>
<p dir="LTR">In September, an Oxford college removed a portrait of Suu Kyi from public display and placed it in storage<span dir="RTL">.</span></p>
<p dir="LTR">Earlier in November, Irish musician and founder of Live Aid Bob Geldof returned his Freedom of the City of Dublin award, a civic honor also held by Suu Kyi<span dir="RTL">.</span></p>
<p dir="LTR"><span dir="RTL">&#8220;</span>Oxford has a long tradition of being a diverse and humane city, and our reputation is tarnished by honoring those who turn a blind eye to violence,” the council said. &#8220;We hope that today we have added our small voice to others calling for human rights and justice for the Rohingya people<span dir="RTL">.&#8221;</span></p>
<p dir="LTR">Michael Aris, Suu Kyi&#8217;s former husband, lived in Oxford and her children grew up there<span dir="RTL">.</span></p>
<p dir="LTR">Suu Kyi was also dubbed 2017’s “International Islamophobe of the Year” on Sunday by the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission, beating U.S. President Donald Trump, French National Front leader Marine Le Pen and far-right Dutch Freedom Party chief Geert Wilders<span dir="RTL">.</span></p>
<p dir="LTR">More than 620,000 Rohingya Muslims have forced to take shelter in neighboring Bangladesh since the crisis escalated in August.</p>
