Would speaking out just exacerbate the situation?

Especially as it’s been highlighted that it’s the military who is in overall control.

Maybe it would.

But as I said: didn't keep her from speaking out, when it was on her "problems"...

Rather than asinine comment, highlight the factual errors, if any, in the article

That is an excellent article. Sad some dismiss it. It needs to be read.

No-one ever seems greatly perturbed by the atrocious treatment of Christians by muslims, as so often happens in predominantly muslim countries. 

 Many are greatly perturbed by abuse of people's rights and freedoms; regardless of their religion and that of the state where such abuses occur.

 

For example, Amnesty International is often labelled as 'Muslim loving PC lefties' by certain groups. Have a read of their 2016/17 report into human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia; you'll see that they are, as you put it, greatly perturbed.

 

Perhaps you will tell us which leader of a Muslim state where such abuses occur has been honoured for their human rights record?

Who cares about the stupid English award they have destroyed their own country caring more for taking in the religion of peace than taking care their own people who have paid their Tax all thru the yrs.

   Something very rotten back in the UK we sold up and moved back to Thailand a much better place to be.

City of Oxford strips Aung San Suu Kyi of human rights award

I'm glad to see foolish, high-profile awards like this from an equally foolish city council being called for what they are.

The City of Oxford needed to look no further than local teachers, policemen, and other public servants who serve Oxford's citizens every day with aplomb - without any chance of recognition.

City of Oxford, all you have done by stripping Aung San Suu Kyi is demonstrate how worthless your awards actually are - because you clearly hand them out not to honour any proposed recipient but to further your own PR (or bullsh1t factory). Very sad.
