Myanmar's army is hunting for seven well-known supporters of protests against this month's coup and they face charges over comments on social media that threaten national stability, the army said on Saturday. All seven are opponents of the Feb. 1 coup in which the military took over and elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi was detained. The United Nations human rights office said on Friday more than 350 people have been arrested in Myanmar since the coup. Suu Kyi, for decades the standard bearer of the fight for democracy in Myanmar, faces charges of illegally importing and using six walkie-talkie radios. Thomas Andrews, the UN rights investigator for Myanmar, said the UN Security Council should consider imposing sanctions and arms embargoes on Myanmar.
