Canada Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland took part in a protest march in Toronto on Saturday where politicians, rights workers and lawyers called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to strip the Nobel Peace Prize winner of her citizenship. Suu Kyi received her honourary Canadian citizenship in 2012. Four of the recipients, including Suu Kyi, are also recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize. Suu Kyi has been harshly criticised by the international media for her inaction on the military crackdown that has forced some 430,000 Rohingyas to flee to neighbouring Bangladesh. Suu Kyi, for her part, has called many of the reports ‘fake news’.
