http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=politicsNews&storyID=7787164MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said Wednesday a U.S report that contended Russia's human rights record had worsened was biased and distorted reality.
The Foreign ministry said the State Department annual world human rights report was out of step with the warm atmosphere at last week's summit between U.S President Bush and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. snip
"The whole report looks politically-biased," and "distorts beyond recognition" the real state of affairs in Russian society, said the ministry.
The statement asked why the report made no mention of the U.S. military's ill-treatment of Iraqi detainees or of electoral irregularities and race discrimination in the United States.
