And we speak to the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Myanmar, Yanghee Lee and ask if she thinks Myanmar’s de-factor leader, Aung San Suu Kyi should be stripped of the Nobel Peace Prize she won in 1991. Guests: Awol Allo Nominated Abiy Ahmed for the Nobel Peace Prize Henrik Urdal Director of the Peace Research Institute in Oslo David Swanson Director of World Beyond War Yanghee Lee UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar
