Honorary Freedom Update

The Chairman of the Freedom Applications Committee provided an oral update in respect of the Motion passed at the last meeting of the Court, relative to the commencement of the process to revoke the Honorary Freedom granted to Aung San Suu Ky in May 2017.

The Freedom Applications Committee had begun the process by dispatching a letter to the Honorary Freeman informing her of the proposal and the rationale, inviting her comments on it. A response was awaited. The Committee would consider, in due course, the next steps in the process in light of any response received, or none.
