WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Amnesty International is a global movement of people fighting injustice and promoting human right, according to the organization’s web site.
“We ask that the US government follows its own example and takes these findings to heart.” Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) Managing Director of Government Relations Adotei Akwei said in a statement issued on Thursday.
Earlier on Thursday, the State Department released its 2014 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices. The report is an annual survey of human rights violations throughout the world.
“These reports can be an invaluable roadmap for shaping US foreign policy,” the AIUSA official said, adding however, that many actions carried out by the US government failed to meet the standards they apply to others in the annual report.
