Since the 1990’s crackdown, human rights violations have continued, most recently with the suppression of the protests led by Buddhist monks in 2007. The average citizen has grown poorer, even as those close to the junta become ostentatiously rich.
可西方的制裁也没有任何效果。从20世纪90年代的镇压行动后，破坏人权的行为就屡禁不止，最近一次是2007年对佛教僧侣所领导抗议活动的镇压。普通的平民百姓生活水平日益下降，而与统治者相关的利益集团则富得流油。
