CARREY URGES UN TO BAN ARMS TO MYANMAR

Actor JIM CARREY urged the UN Security Council to ban all international arms shipments to Myanmar in a bid to end the suppression of pro-democracy protestors.

The comic actor urged the Council to take action on Friday (5Oct07) after Burmese security forces raided monasteries, imposed curfews and killed 10 when up to 100,000 people protested against the regime.

Speaking the day before the US Campaign for Burma (6Oct07) - with marches and protests organised in response to the brutality in Myanmar and the detention of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi - he says, "This is a government that uses its weapons not in self defence, but against its own citizens.

"The time has come for the United Nations Security Council to start acting less like a group of corporations and more like united nations."
