Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi stripped of human rights award

By Laura Koran, CNN

Updated 0658 GMT (1458 HKT) March 8, 2018

Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been accused of standing by while the Rohingya suffer.
Washington (CNN)Myanmar has responded to the stripping of a prestigious human rights award from de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi by claiming the awarding institution was "misled and exploited."

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum museum announced Wednesday it was rescinding the prestigious Elie Wiesel Award granted to Suu Kyi in 2012 because she had failed to intervene in the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the country's northern Rakhine State.
In a statement, Myanmar's embassy in Washington, D.C., said "we immensely regret that the ... Holocaust Museum has been misled and exploited by people who failed to see the true situation in making fair judgment on the situation in Rakhine State."
Nobel laureate Suu Kyi, once a darling of the international human rights community, has been stripped of a number of prestigious awards amid allegations of ethnic cleansing of the country's minority Rohingya population.
More than 688,000 Rohingya refugees have fled Rakhine State since August. Myanmar's military has repeatedly denied claims it deliberately attacked Rohingya civilians, insisting instead that it is combating a terrorist insurgency in the province.

In a letter to Suu Kyi, museum director Sara Bloomfield insisted they "did not take this decision lightly," but were compelled to act in light of mass displacements and killings attributed to the country's security forces.
While Suu Kyi's political influence in Myanmar is limited under a power sharing agreement with the military, she has been widely criticized for not taking a stronger stand in support of the Rohingya following mass displacements and disproportionate violence, particularly given her global standing.
"As the military's attacks against the Rohingya unfolded in 2016 and 2017, we had hoped that you -- as someone we and many others have celebrated for your commitment to human dignity and universal human rights -- would have done something to condemn and stop the military's brutal campaign and to express solidarity with the targeted Rohingya population," Bloomfield wrote in the letter, posted to the museum's website.
Instead, Bloomfield concludes, Suu Kyi's political party "refused to cooperate with United Nations investigators, promulgated hateful rhetoric against the Rohingya community, and denied access to and cracked down on journalists trying to uncover the scope of the crimes in Rakhine State."

In November, Suu Kyi was stripped of the Freedom of the City of Oxford award, which honored her in 1997 for "her opposition to oppression and military rule in Burma." Suu Kyi studied at Oxford University's St Hugh's College as an undergraduate, but her portrait in the college has since been removed.
The Elie Wiesel Award is named for the late Holocaust survivor and author who is also Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
In her letter to Suu Kyi, Bloomfield closes with a pointed quote from Wiesel: "Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormenter, never the tormented."

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has revoked a prestigious human rights award it had given to the Nobel laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, now Myanmar’s civilian leader, faulting her for failing to halt or even acknowledge the ethnic cleansing of her country’s Rohingya Muslim minority.

Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, who endured 15 years of house arrest for taking on the military dictatorship in Myanmar, was only the second person to receive the award, in 2012. It was named after Elie Wiesel, a fellow recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and a Holocaust survivor who was one of the museum’s founders. Mr. Wiesel was the first recipient.

The award, according to the museum, is given annually “to an internationally prominent individual whose actions have advanced the Museum’s vision of a world where people confront hatred, prevent genocide and promote human dignity.”

But Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, the museum said, has failed to live up to that vision.

“We had hoped that you — as someone we and many others have celebrated for your commitment to human dignity and universal human rights — would have done something to condemn and stop the military’s brutal campaign and to express solidarity with the targeted Rohingya population,” the museum said in a letter to Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi. The letter, which was made available to The New York Times, was dated Tuesday and addressed to Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi via the Myanmar Embassy in Washington.

Instead, the letter said, she and her political party, the National League for Democracy, have refused to cooperate with United Nations investigators, blocked access to journalists and “promulgated hateful rhetoric against the Rohingya community.”

The museum’s decision is perhaps the strongest rebuke yet of Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been increasingly criticized as a seemingly unrepentant apologist for Buddhist nationalism and the Myanmar military’s campaign of ethnic violence.

Beginning last August, Myanmar’s military, joined by armed Buddhist civilians, systematically killed thousands of Rohingya in the western state of Rakhine. As many as 700,000 more fled across the border to Bangladesh, where they remain. Behind them, soldiers moved in to burn their villages and bury the dead in mass graves.

From Peace Icon to Polarizing Leader

• 2012: The Nobel Peace Prize "had drawn me back into the wider human community"
• 2015: "I will be above the President."
• 2017: "Let me be clear that I would like to be seen as a politician, not some human rights icon."
• The Interpreter: Did the World Get Aung San Suu Kyi Wrong?

The United States and other countries have accused the Myanmar authorities of ethnic cleansing, while the United Nations special envoy on human rights in Myanmar said the killings bore “the hallmarks of a genocide.”

Meanwhile, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi has refused to even utter the word Rohingya in public. In private, she becomes angry when the topic comes up, according to people who have spoken with her.

Though she has set up half a dozen commissions to look into the violence, which began after Rohingya militants attacked Myanmar security posts, the authorities continue to insist that no Rohingya civilians have been harmed.

Bill Richardson, a former governor of New Mexico and longtime friend of Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, recently quit an advisory board on the Rohingya crisis, calling it a “cheerleading squad” for the government.

In the wake of the violence, the government imposed an information blockade that continues to this day. It has barred United Nations investigators from Rakhine and has allowed only a few aid organizations to work there.

Two Reuters journalists, who were investigating the killing of 10 Rohingya men and their burial in a mass grave, were arrested and face 14 years in prison. The authorities in Myanmar accused them of possessing state secrets.

Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi’s release from house arrest in 2010 and, in 2015, ascension to the role of state counselor after her party’s landslide victory at the polls raised hopes that the country had finally emerged from decades of military dictatorship. In response, President Barack Obama eased sanctions, provided financial assistance and became the first sitting American president to visit Myanmar.

For many of her one-time admirers, her handling of the Rohingya issue has been nothing short of a betrayal.

In an open letter last year, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a fellow Nobel laureate, described her as “a dearly beloved younger sister” whose photograph he had long kept on his desk.

“My dear sister: If the political price of your ascension to the highest office in Myanmar is your silence, the price is surely too steep,” he wrote.

Though she is Myanmar’s civilian leader, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi’s power is limited in the face of the military’s continued popularity and domination of the country’s economy and its important institutions. The post that she holds, state counselor, was created after her party’s 2015 election victory, as she is constitutionally barred from becoming president.

In its letter, the Holocaust Museum acknowledged “the difficult situation you must face in confronting decades of military misrule.”

But the museum said the scale of the human suffering inflicted on the Rohingya demands action. It called on her to cooperate with United Nations investigators to establish details about the violence and to help bring those responsible to justice. It also urged her to amend a 1982 law that stripped the Rohingya, who have lived in the western region of Myanmar near Bangladesh for centuries, of their citizenship.

The letter closes with a quote from Mr. Wiesel:

“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

US Holocaust Museum withdraws award over failure to end Rohingya crisis

Myanmar’s civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been stripped of a human rights award she was given in 2012 by the US Holocaust Museum.

It announced on Wednesday that it was revoking its Elie Wiesel Award as a result of Suu Kyi’s failure to use her “moral authority” to end a violent crackdown on Myanmar’s Muslim Rohingya minority.

“It is with great regret that we are now rescinding that award,” the museum said in a statement. “We did not take this decision likely.”

Suu Kyi’s “international reputation has collapsed over the Rohingya massacres”, says The Guardian, and critics have called her an “apologist for the purges”.

Suu Kyi, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, has reportedly not spoken the word Rohingya in public since the violence began last August.

In November, she was stripped of the Freedom of the City of Oxford award, which honoured her in 1997 for "her opposition to oppression and military rule in Burma”, CNN reports.

無視洛興雅事件 翁山蘇姬遭撤銷人權獎

記者余捷／綜合報導

美國大屠殺紀念館今指控緬甸實質領導人翁山蘇姬幾乎未阻止軍方對洛興雅（Rohingya）穆斯林的種族清洗，因此要撤銷6年前頒給翁山蘇姬的魏瑟爾（Elie Wiesel）人權獎。

翁山蘇姬因長年為緬甸民主奮鬥，1991年獲得諾貝爾和平獎，6年前獲得美國大屠殺紀念館的魏瑟爾獎。但美國大屠殺紀念館指出，在緬甸軍方對少數族群洛興雅人「種族清洗」時，翁山蘇姬卻未採取任何行動，因此要撤銷她獲得的人權獎。

美國大屠殺紀念館在給翁山蘇姬的信件表示：「軍方鎮壓洛興雅人之時，我們希望受到我們和許多人讚揚的妳，能譴責和阻止軍方殘暴行為，並聲援洛興雅人。」信件表示，翁山蘇姬的政黨全國民主聯盟（NLD）已拒絕與聯合國調查人員合作，並進一步提出反洛興雅言論，因此美國大屠殺紀念館決定撤銷翁山蘇姬的魏瑟爾人權獎。

Seizure of White Farmers' Land in S Africa 'Severe Infringement on Human Rights'

Last week the South African parliament adopted with an overwhelming majority of 241 votes in favor versus 83 votes against the motion to change the country’s constitution in order to pave the way for a planned expropriation of land from white farmers without any financial compensation.

Sputnik has discussed this issue with Kallie Kriel, the CEO of AfriForum. Before the establishment of AfriForum, Kallie was the Head of Marketing and member benefits at Solidarity.

Sputnik: How would you characterize the land expropriation motion in South Africa dubbed by some as reverse apartheid? How legal is this initiative?

Kallie Kriel: Expropriating property without paying for it would be a severe infringement on the human rights of property owners and should be condemned by the international community in the same way they condemned apartheid. If the South African constitution is changed as planned to allow for expropriation without compensation, it would be impossible the challenge it in South African courts as the courts function according to the constitution. In our view this does, however, not make it legal. Theft of property cannot be seen as legal simply because the constitution is changed to allow it. South Africa should also be bound by international law and treaties that don't allow property to be stolen by the state.

Apartheid Aftereffect: Are Farm Murders in South Africa Racially-Charged?
Sputnik: Julius Malema, who brought the motion, stated that it was time for justice. But how just is it from a historical perspective? How correct or incorrect are the claims that white people who own land obtained it solely by means of oppression?
Kallie Kriel: Julius Malema propagates a lie that whites stole land. The only original indigenous people of Southern Africa are the Khoisan group. Black people on whose behalf Malema claims to speak originally came from central Africa, while whites came from Europe. Malema and his supporters thus do not have any more right to property than whites. Malema is driven by anti-white racism that he is propagating continuously. There is a legal land restitution process in South Africa that can be used by people that can prove that they lost lands unfairly. Malema, and now the ANC [African National Congress], does not want to use this, as they want to deprive whites of all their property, even if this would also be to the detriment of the vast majority of black people as the example of Zimbabwe illustrates.

Sputnik: Why is the government doing it now? Why has land redistribution become the key talking point in South Africa?

Kallie Kriel: The South African government has failed South Africans through corruption and incompetence. They are now trying to evade responsibility for this and retain support by making whites the scape goat for what went wrong in the country. They are desperate.

Sputnik: Some liken the situation in South Africa with that in Zimbabwe that led to economic challenges. What immediate and long-term repercussions could the land expropriation have? If implemented, how is this initiative to be handled?

Kallie Kriel: The immediate effect would be polarization and the drying up of much needed international investments. International and local investors don't invest in places where there is disrespect for property rights. This will ultimately destroy South Africa's economy, leading to the extreme poverty we see in Zimbabwe with a 90% unemployment rate. The difference is that people in Zimbabwe fled to South Africa after Mugabe destroyed that country, but South Africans have nowhere else to go.

The views and opinions expressed by Kallie Kriel are those of the speaker and do not necessarily reflect those of Sputnik.
