UK Chides China, Russia on Human Rights
China was rebuked for denying religious freedom to Tibetans and other human rights violations in a report published Tuesday by Britain’s Foreign Office.
The annual human rights report said China has made little progress toward a peaceful settlement in Tibet and accused Beijing of ignoring human rights there and harassing people for their religious beliefs . . .
Relations between Russia and Britain have been strained for some time. The report said there had been a “shrinking of the democratic space” in Russia the past 18 months, with restrictions put on journalists and opposition parties and xenophobia increasingly prevalent. Two journalists were murdered in Russia last week . . .
