London - Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was Tuesday awarded an honorary degree by the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland. The democracy campaigner was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws for services to human rights during a ceremony at the Millennium Forum in Londonderry, Northern Ireland's second city.

Her representative Mra Razam Linn told 500 new graduates the recipient was a "great hero" who had sacrificed her life in the struggle for democracy for 50 million people.

"I do believe that the peoples of Ireland support our non-violence movement for democracy in their heart and soul, and recognize non- violent activists who are struggling for the peace, justice and human rights in Burma," she said.
