Foreign Ministry Researcher on Poor Human Rights Performance in U.S.
Pyongyang, November 25 (KCNA) -- Pak Song Il, a researcher at the Institute for American Studies of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK, issued the following commentary titled "Poor Human Rights Performance in the U.S." on Friday:

"Hatred-driven crimes" are unabated in the U.S. amid increasing racial and religious contradictions.

According to results published by the FBI and several other law enforcement and investigation organs in the U.S., the number of radical racial and religious organizations like Ku Klux Klan and the "Islamic State Movement" has doubled while bloody crimes among them sharply jumped. Similar crimes targeting the black, Muslims and minorities have increased more than 67 percent, in particular.

Last week alone, a black man opened fire at a policeman for no reason in San Antonio in Texas before taking to flight and ambush attacks against four policemen took place one after another in three states of the U.S., killing one and wounding three.

Media comment this as retaliation against white policemen in Louisiana, Minnesota and Texas who "hunted" innocent black men after branding them as "criminals".

The evil cycle of "hatred-driven crimes", murder, and retaliatory murder that stem from extreme racism and religious contradictions is an incurable malignant tumor grown by the reactionary social system in the U.S.

People suffer from uneasiness and horror of being killed any moment, far from being protected, for the mere reason that they have colored skin and differing religious faith. This is a true picture of the American society.

The U.S., kingpin of human rights abuses, has to worry about its own deplorable human rights situation, far from finding fault with the "human rights performance" in other countries.
