Miserable Human Rights Situation in U.S. and Western Countries Disclosed (2)

Pyongyang, February 26 (KCNA) -- The DPRK Association for Human Rights Studies in an indictment issued on Feb. 23 disclosed that the U.S. and western countries wantonly violated rights of the peoples of other countries under the signboard of "human rights" and "democracy." According to it, the U.S. set up "cultural centers" and "information services" in more than a hundred countries of the world to systematically provide them with periodicals spreading the reactionary idea and American-style way of life. The U.S. had committed over 900 cases of operations for assassination and terror against prominent political figures and leading government officials of various countries from 1961 to 1976. The U.S. and western countries are wantonly violating international laws adopted to prevent genocide and punish those involved in it under the signboard of "anti-terrorism war." The U.S. and western countries are committing more serious human rights abuses in secret prisons overseas in wanton violation of international law. According to the British Guardian in October 2013, the U.S. National Security Bureau wiretapped phone messages of 35 foreign heads of state in conspiracy with the White House, Department of State and Pentagon. The U.S. large-scale phone wire-tapping operations conducted worldwide for the last several decades are, indeed, unpardonable human rights abuses against not only Americans but peoples of other countries. -0-
