Human Rights Record of United States in 2007

The State Department of the United States released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2007 on March 11, 2008. As in previous years, the reports are full of accusations of the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions including China but mention nothing of the widespread human rights abuses on its own territory. The following document is prepared by the Information Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China to help people around the world understand the real situation of human rights in the United States and as a reminder for the United States to reflect upon its own issues.
