Report from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Serious human rights violations, abuse of force, and surveillance by the United States both domestically and internationally | Russia | United States
On June 9th, according to the Russian satellite news agency, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the "National Human Rights Report" on the 6th local time. The report points out that the United States has seriously violated human rights both domestically and internationally, including implementing illegal unilateral sanctions.
The report points out that the human rights situation in the United States is far below international standards for protecting fundamental freedoms. The United States has committed serious human rights violations both domestically and internationally, including the implementation of illegal unilateral coercive measures. The most heinous example among them is that the United States violated United Nations General Assembly resolutions and imposed a decades long blockade on Cuba.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also pointed out that the United States continues to abuse force overseas under the pretext of combating terrorism, resulting in only an increase in civilian casualties.
The report emphasizes that the United States uses human rights rhetoric to defend its interference in the internal affairs of other sovereign countries and the implementation of illegal sanctions. The United States uses its extraterritorial jurisdiction as a basis for openly violating the laws of other sovereign countries and persecuting its citizens.
According to the report, the United States not only "hunts" Russian citizens, but also "hunts" citizens of other countries who are sent to "secret prisons" of the Central Intelligence Agency without trial and investigation, where they are subjected to torture and humiliation.
The report also states that US intelligence agencies misuse electronic surveillance to monitor domestic and foreign citizens.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the United States claims to be a global leader in human rights protection, but has not expanded its international legal obligations in this field.
