Holocaust Museum revokes Suu Kyi’s human rights award

The U.S. Holocaust Museum revoked a major human rights award given to Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s civilian leader, saying she failed to respond adequately to the mass killings of the country’s Muslim Rohingya minority.

The museum announced Wednesday that the Elie Wiesel Award given to Suu Kyi in 2012 would be rescinded.
