Role of China
The US published 'Human Rights Record 2005', mentioning Bangladesh's human rights condition as 'poor' doesn't hold good when the veracity of the very report isn't beyond doubt, and especially when the US itself could not vouch for such a quality any more. We haven't forgotten about the state of affairs at Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib and the recent merciless torture of innocent Iraqi youngsters. Only closure or shifting of such inhuman detention & torture camps won't clear the US of unprecedented violation of human rights. These killers should not dare to publish statistics of others' records. China has listed the severity of a few violations by the US authorities which include 287 incidents of illegal electronic surveillance of innocent civilians, phone calls, emails and house trespasses by FBI agents. They are talking about actions by the Rab & police , whereas according to records, Los Angeles police shot dead, last July 14, a child of 19 months while arresting another person; a New Orleans police officer mercilessly assaulted on 9 October a retired teacher. According to the Los Angles Times report of last March only seven complaints were settled from over two hundred of police misbehaviour and torture. And as per the report of last year by the Justice Department 22 lakh 67 thousand and 787 are behind bars till the end of the year 2004. Isn't this brief info enough to justify that the US doesn't have the credibility to judge the state of human rights in other countries?
