In Bangladesh, authorities have destroyed nearly two dozen boats that are used to ferry Rohingya fleeing the Burmese military’s ethnic cleansing campaign. More than half a million Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh amid the violent crackdown. In Britain, the Oxford City Council has voted to strip Burma’s de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, of her Freedom of Oxford award over the violence. She studied at Oxford in the 1960s and met her husband there. Thousands have also called for her to be stripped of her Nobel Peace Prize.
