NEW YORK, May 5 (Reuters) - More than 200 civil society groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, called on the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday to impose an arms embargo on Myanmar to help protect civilians peacefully protesting a military coup.
Since the military seized power on Feb. 1 and ousted an elected government led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar has seen daily protests and a surge of violence with security forces killing hundreds of civilians. Imposing a global arms embargo on Myanmar is the minimum necessary step the Security Council should take in response to the military s escalating violence, the civil society groups from around the world said in a joint statement.
