Rodong Sinmun Terms U.S. Worst Human Rights Abuser



    Pyongyang, October 18 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, the archives of official documents on national security at George Washington University opened to public the fact that the U.S. National Security Agency tapped conversations of various anti-war activists in the U.S. in the 1970s.
    Rodong Sinmun Friday observes in a commentary in this regard:
    This fact goes to clearly prove that the U.S. eavesdropping and surveillance didn't start at the outset of the new century.
    The U.S. intelligence services claim that they conducted tapping and surveillance in a bid to "combat terrorism" in the wake of the occurrence of the Snowden case but this is nothing but a hypocritical pretext, the commentary notes and goes on:
    Under the patronage of the ruling forces the intelligence services in the U.S. stealthily conducted tapping and surveillance of those anti-war activists, abusing their human rights. This fact clearly indicates that the U.S. is the worst human rights abuser and the most horrible tundra of democracy.
    The U.S. is a criminal state which has neither qualification nor face to take issue with human rights performance, democracy and freedom in other countries.
    Entering the present century the world has already branded the U.S. as the worst human rights abuser as it committed shuddering torture in the jail of its naval base in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and secret jails in European countries.
    Great irony is that the U.S. is still behaving as if it were "human rights judge" though it has neither qualification nor face to talk about human rights, democracy and freedom.
    The U.S. ruling forces would be well advised to stop groundlessly finding fault with other countries but set right their wrong way of thinking. -0
