Human Rights Record of the US in 2004 [China State Council]
8:23 PM ET

Human Rights Record of the US in 2004, China State Council, March 3, 2005. Excerpt:
In 2004 the atrocity of US troops abusing Iraqi POWs exposed the dark side of human rights performance of the United States. The scandal shocked the humanity and was condemned by the international community. It is quite ironic that on Feb. 28 of this year, the State Department of the United States once again posed as the "the world human rights police" and released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2004. As in previous years, the reports pointed fingers at human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions (including China) but kept silent on the US misdeeds in this field. Therefore, the world people have to probe the human rights record behind the Statue of Liberty in the United States.
Read the full report as reprinted in the Chinese government's People's Daily. Reported in JURIST's Paper Chase here.
