Bob Geldof to return Freedom of Dublin City in Aung San Suu Kyi protest

"Her association with our city shames us all and we should have no truck with it, even by default. We honoured her, now she appals and shames us."

Bob Geldof is to hand back his Freedom of the City of Dublin, saying he does not want to be associated with the award while it is also held by Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Live Aid founder and musician blasted the Burmese Nobel peace laureate, who has faced widespread criticism over her country's treatment of its Rohingya Muslim minority.
