United States of America: Rights For All, by Amnesty International This report reveals a persistent and widespread pattern of human rights violations in the USA. It points to entrenched and nationwide police brutality. It highlights the physical and sexual abuse of prisoners, many of whom are held in inhumane and degrading conditions. People who have fled to the USA in search of safety are treated as criminals and held behind bars. The number of people executed each year is rising relentlessly, and more than 3,000 condemned prisoners are on death row. Racism and discrimination contribute to the dineial of the fundamental rights of countless men, women and children. In this report, which is part of a worldwide campaign against human rights abuses in the USA, Amnesty International challenges US authorities at all levels: -- to bring US laws and practices into line with international standards; -- to reinforce the USA's commitment to international human rights protection; and -- to work towards a world where the freedoms and rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are a reality.
