Similarly one of the so called standard bearer of human rights in the international arenathe Canadian gorverment has also been accused itself as agross violator of human rights and human rights abuses have been recorded in the Muslim community .
”USA ignores the most serious violation of human rights committed by their puppet , the Zionist Israeli regime. This shows the double standards being applied by the powerful countries ,” he said .
