Antonov calls on Washington to solve its problems before condemning countries for violating freedoms

Moscow (ST): The Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, confirmed that Washington is exploiting the human rights issue to discredit countries and political regimes that are not in line with its policies.

Russia Today quoted Antonov as saying on Telegram: “It is more useful in Washington, before condemning other countries for violating human rights and freedoms, to be keen to solve their own problems,” noting that “racism, Islamophobia and other manifestations of intolerance are growing in the United States, and manifestations of hatred are growing in the United States.”

 Antonov pointed out that “the US State Department’s propaganda publications aim to discredit countries that do not follow Washington’s directions and to obtain a pretext for interfering in their internal affairs.” He wondered about the US’s lack of support for the annual resolution of the United Nations General Assembly against glorifying Nazism and the inhumane policies of the US authorities against immigrants and the secrecy of Washington on cases of torture and inhuman treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay.
