MOSCOW, 10 July 2021, (TON): The United States continues to grossly violate human rights both within the country and abroad, according to the report of the Russian Foreign Ministry on the situation with human rights in individual countries.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a document posted on the website “the United States continues to grossly violate human rights both within the country and abroad, including through illegal unilateral coercive measures (sanctions), the most egregious example of which is the imposed and ongoing (despite numerous UN General Assembly resolutions ) blockade of Cuba.”

“However, this does not prevent them from positioning themselves as a“ world standard ”in the field of protecting fundamental freedoms. Even non-governmental organizations loyal to Washington admit that the state of affairs in the human rights sphere is getting worse here every year. the country continues to be ignored by the authorities.”

The report said “instead, Washington seeks violations anywhere but at home.”

Russian Foreign Ministry said that the situation with freedom of the media in the United States remains extremely ambiguous, in fact sliding into complete degradation.
