Bolivarian Government rejects US government report on Human Rights
The Venezuelan government on Friday rejected the report on human rights presented by the US State Department, considering that the report manipulates the reality of the Venezuelan people and is prepared by a country that lacks the moral authority to issue statements about other states.
In a statement, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry said that “the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, once again, categorically rejects the report on human rights by the US State Department”.
It also opposes “the repeated practice of qualifying the policies of other countries in this area without any technical rigour or credibility”.
