Journalism / Human rights violations
English term or phrase: Pay scant price
Context: Report on freedom of the press:

"Record number of journalists jailed as Turkey, China, Egypt *pay scant price* for repression

For the second year in a row, the number of journalists imprisoned for their work hit a historical high, as the U.S. and other Western powers failed to pressure the world’s worst jailers--Turkey, China, and Egypt--into improving the bleak climate for press freedom."

The meaning is very clear, showing that these countries can get away with unjust repression of journalists, without having to give account for their actions,
but I would like an appropriate translation of this term.
