Aung San Suu Kyi is set to be stripped of her Freedom of Edinburgh award for refusing to condemn the army-led violence against the Rohingya in Burma, described by the UN as a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing.”

This will be the seventh honor over the past year that has been taken away from the former Nobel Peace Prize winner, and only the second time in 200 years that the British city of Edinburgh has revoked such an award, the Guardian reported.
