Human rights violations in Burma (Myanmar)

These are photos I took in Thailand (opium addict and Padaung tribe) and Burma (the monks). Burma has had ongoing conflict for decades where the ethnic tribes and general population are not free to practice their own religions or have basic human rights. The Military Junta that control the country imprison anyone who speaks out and they have tortured, murdered and raped. Peaceful resistance of monks protesting only lead to death and violence at the hands of the Junta. Farmers are forced to turn their fields into opium growing poppy fields to benefit the greedy Junta and there seems to be no end.
