Myanmar's envoy to the United Nations, who has rebelled against the junta, on Friday urged a no-fly zone, arms embargo and targeted sanctions in a passionate plea for action. "Your collective, strong action is needed immediately," Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun told a Security Council meeting. "Time is of the essence for us," he said. "Please, please take action." He voiced regret so far at the "lack of adequate and strong action by the international community, especially the UN Security Council."
