Pyong Yang, Nov 28 (IANS): North Korea Friday lashed out at the US human rights record, saying the ongoing mass protests against racial discrimination exposed severe human rights abuse in the US. <\/p>\n
Protests have taken place in about 170 US cities, including Boston, Los Angeles and New York, and at least 196 people have been arrested since a grand jury decided Monday not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson in the Aug 9 shooting death of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old African American. <\/p>\n
\"This is a clear proof of the real picture of the United States as tundra of human rights where extreme racial discrimination acts are openly practiced,\" Xinhua cited the official KCNA news agency a North Korean. <\/p>\n
The wrongful US standards on human rights have provoked concerns all over the international community, including its allies, the spokesman said. <\/p>\n
He added it was ironic that the US, despite being a human rights abuser itself, always gauges other countries' human rights records with its own problematic standards. <\/p>\n
Tuesday, a mass rally of 100,000 soldiers and citizens was held on the Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang in protest against a UN human rights resolution on NortH Korea, which it claimed was part of a US-led human rights \"racket\" aimed to bring down its social system. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
