KCNA Terms U.S. Kingpin of Human Rights Abuses

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 4 (KCNA) -- The U.S. State Department slandered the DPRK again in "an annual report on human rights" on February 25. The U.S. talked this or that about human rights situations in more than 190 countries as if it were an international human rights judge.
    It is ludicrous for the U.S. to talk about human rights abuses in the DPRK although it is beset with such serious human rights issues as racial discrimination, religious disputes, merciless assaults in prisons, murder, rapes, robbery, etc.
    The U.S. is not entitled to talk about human rights situation on the international arena.
    It was the U.S. which brought the worst disaster to the people of Afghanistan in view of humanitarianism by invading it, reducing its cities and villages to ashes to meet Washington's purpose and interests under the signboard of the "war on terrorism." It was again the U.S. which fabricated false information, violated the sovereignty of Iraq by force of arms and unhesitatingly dropped bombs on defenseless innocent peaceable citizens and even on children.
    Human rights precisely means state power. Therefore, the invasion of Iraq, a sovereign state, should be called into question as it was the worst human rights abuses.
    After launching a war in Iraq, the U.S. used approximately 311,000 depleted uranium shells, more than 13,000 cluster bombs and many other bombs and shells, severely devastating land, killing at least 10,000 civilians and wounding about 20,000.
    These atrocities suffice to prove that the U.S. is the chieftain of massacre and the worst violator of the right to existence. It also proves that the present U.S. administration is the world's most inhumane regime.
    Amnesty International issued statements on June 30 and July 20 last year to denounce the U.S. human rights abuses.
    The statements accused the U.S. of confining thousands of innocent Iraqis in prisons and thus inflicting all sorts of humiliation and pain upon them and even killing them without hesitation.
    In November the secretary general of Amnesty International assailed the U.S. for wantonly violating international law and human rights under the signboard of "war on terrorism" and punishing prisoners in POW camps in the naval base on Guantanamo and in Afghanistan as it pleases without going through necessary legal procedures.
    All facts go to clearly prove that the U.S. is the strangler of international democracy and the world's worst violator of human rights as it is hell-bent on mass-killings in different parts of the world, imposing economic sanctions and war on those countries advocating independence by spreading false information and breeding plots.
    Such being a stark fact, the U.S. is pulling up the DPRK over the non-existent human rights issue. This is nothing but a base trick to tarnish the international image of the DPRK and do harm to its state power by adding human rights issue to the nuclear issue.
    The U.S. much ado about the human rights issue in the DPRK only hardens the will of the Korean people to consolidate as firm as an iron-wall the socialist system, their protector.
