Switzerland sold arms and ammunition to long-term clients Egypt and Bahrain during the "Arab spring" protests, according to a report by Amnesty International.

Amnesty International looked into arms deliveries done after 2005 by European countries, Russia and the United States to five countries in the Middle East and North Africa ruled by repressive regime: Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria and Yemen.

The organisation found out that the main suppliers of arms were the US, Britain, Russia, Germany, Italy, France, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. However, neutral Switzerland also appears on the list.

The human rights organisation stated that the report indicated that there is no proof to show that these weapons were used against civilian protesters.
