Human Rights Abuse Scandal in U.S. Decried

Pyongyang, June 18 (KCNA) -- The Guardian, The Washington Post and other world media disclosed that the U.S. National Security Agency accessed international internet servers and systematically wiretapped phone calls, photos, e-mails and other private information of people. Not only Americans but foreigners have reportedly been subject to the espionage that has been applied indiscriminately by the U.S. intelligence institution.
    A bylined commentary of Minju Joson Tuesday says this clearly proves once again that the U.S. is a kingpin of human rights abuses as it put the world under its watch network and has conducted espionage against mankind.
    The U.S. has been intent on collecting information of individuals, an indication of serious problem in its morality and concept on human rights, the news analyst says, and goes on:
    Each individual is entitled to live and develop with dignity as a social being.
    But in American society where the jungle law prevails, only the strong men's rights over the weak men are recognized.
    The overwhelming majority of the toiling masses are denied the dignity and rights as human beings in American society where only the rights of the rich are recognized and advocated.
    As the recent human rights abuse scandal broke out, high-ranking officials of the U.S. intelligence agency spoke loudly of its necessity for the "prevention of terrorism". But this is just a lame excuse to cover up its crime.
    The U.S. had better reflect on its poor plight facing international human rights trial before making mention of such sacred words of human rights. -0-
