Unison one of a number of institutions in Britain to withdraw honours in response to humanitarian crisis
One of Britain's largest trade unions has suspended an award given to Aung San Suu Kyi during her time as a political prisoner, as international criticism mounts over her tepid response to Myanmar's humanitarian crisis.
The move comes as a number of British institutions say they are reviewing or removing honours bestowed on Aung San Suu Kyi during her campaign for democracy under Myanmar's oppressive military junta.
