Portrait of she-devil Suu Kyi removed

St Hugh’s College governing body removed the portrait of Aung San Suu Ki, pictured, and replaced it with a Japanese painting by Yoshihiro Takeda
An Oxford University college has taken down a portrait of Myanmar’s leading politician amid claims the country has been carrying out ethnic cleansing.
St Hugh’s College governing body removed the portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi and replaced it with a Japanese painting by Yoshihiro Takeda, according to a student newsletter.
Burma’s civilian leader Suu Kyi is an alumna of the college and had previously been given an honorary degree.

The portrait, which was painted by Chen Yanning in 1997, has been hanging in the main entrance since 1999.
