Rodong Sinmun Brands U.S. and Some European Countries as Worst Human Rights Abusers
Pyongyang, March 31 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is the worst abuser of human rights in the world as it imprisons innocent people without trial and puts them to torture with no qualms under the pretext of "anti-terror war", Rodong Sinmun says in a commentary on Tuesday.

The commentary goes on:

Torture is evidently a human rights abuse as it is the act of causing physical and mental pain to force someone to make confession and statement.

The U.S. uses unimaginable brutal methods of torture such as water boarding, rectal feeding, 200-hour locking of captive in U-type box and pushing captive's head against a wall and beating at overseas secret prisons in different parts of the world. Even some captives died due to such brutal torture.

Many Americans are meeting deaths simply because of different races and religions.

Conflict among races has festered under the Obama administration. Discriminations against black people and Muslims are very serious in the U.S.

What is stunning the people is that UK and other European countries styling themselves as "models of human rights" provide the U.S. with secret prisons and interrogation places and allow the passage and stay of prisoners in their countries to actively join the U.S. in human rights abuses. These facts prove that "human rights" advertised by European countries are nothing but hypocrisy and they are as cruel human rights abusers as the U.S.

It is the height of shamelessness and mockery and insult to genuine human rights for the U.S. and its allies, Western countries, to vociferate about "human rights issues" of other countries.

They have neither face nor qualifications to make much fuss about "human rights issues" of other countries.
