The Oxford University where Aung San Suu Kyi studied said Saturday it had taken down a portrait of Myanmar's leader, a decision that follows widespread criticism of her over the Rohingya genocide.
The portrait, which was on display in the main entrance of St Hugh's College, has been placed in storage and was replaced on Thursday with a new painting gifted by Japanese artist Yoshihiro Takada.

"We received a new painting earlier this month which will be exhibited at the main entrance for a period," the college said in a statement.
"The painting of Aung San Suu Kyi has meanwhile been moved to a secure location." Full story...
