OTTAWA—The House of Commons has revoked the honorary Canadian citizenship granted to Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi, the one-time champion of democracy who is now seen as a disgraced bystander in the ethnic cleansing of her country’s Rohingya population. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shakes hands with Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi at the APEC Summit in Vietnam in 2017. Although her party won elections after Burma made democratic reforms, Suu Kyi is constitutionally barred from the top leadership post because her children were born in the U.K. Rae warned the world not to place sole blame for the atrocities on Suu Kyi, although he did not exclude her from responsibility for the tragedy. Suu Kyi does not control the military, he said.
