Yangon: Protesters in Myanmar lined up in front of the United Nations building in Yangon on Sunday, pleading for help from the international body to release their political leaders and reverse the military coup.
About 500 people marched past the gates of the compound, and stood outside chanting slogans.
They held banners aloft calling for UN Security Council to "save us" saying "We totally accept United States of America and European Allies."

"What do we want? We need UN to attack the country in a good way, to protect democracy," said protester, Pyae Soe Nyein.
"Democracy, that's all we want."
The UN's top human rights body on Friday passed a consensus resolution urging the military to immediately release Suu Kyi and other civilian government leaders while watering down a draft text amid pressure led by China and Russia.
In a special session at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, the original resolution presented by Britain and the European Union was revised to remove calls to bolster the ability of a UN rights expert to scrutinize Myanmar and for restraint from the country's military.
