I Burma pacificerer hæren regioner beboet af etniske mindretal, den anholder regelmæssigt oppositionsaktivister og chikanerer almindelige borgere, der protesterer mod prisstigninger og en forværelse af de allerede skandaløst lave levestandarder.
In Burma the army is pacifying regions inhabited by ethnic minorities. The army regularly arrests opposition activists and it harasses ordinary citizens protesting against price increases and the further reduction of what is already a horrifyingly low standard of living.
