US criticises Iran, China on human rights (http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200603/s1587255.htm)
The US Government has singled out Iran and China as among the world's worst human rights abusers.
The criticism comes in the State Department's annual human rights report.
The report takes aim at countries the US describes as serial human rights abusers such as North Korea, Cuba, Zimbabwe and Burma.
Iran is accused of offences ranging from torture and summary executions to the violation of religious freedoms.
The US says China's human rights record remains poor, with the Chinese Government violently suppressing any expression of dissent.
The report makes no mention of any human rights abuses committed by the US in places like the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, despite strong international criticism over the US military's treatment of detainees.and who is it who has the biggest nuclear arsenal of all and has dropped two bombs on civilian cities?
Let's not forget who destabilised Iran in the first place, either.
