U.S.- Russia Summit with Obama and Medvedev in 2009: Human Rights First

http://www.humanrightsfirst.org - Just two weeks before President Barack Obama travels to Moscow to meet with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Human Rights First (HRF) is urging him to ensure that tackling hate crimes is included on the Summits agenda. In a letter sent today to President Obama, HRF explained that these crimes are on the rise in Russia and its government has inadequately responded to this troubling trend. This, coupled with other rights abuses such as increased harassment of human rights defenders, could make Russia a far less reliable partner in addressing economic, security, and other issues.

How the hell can you sit there and tell another country about human rights when a lot of americans do not have many rights?

Man if you went in the streets with Nazi flags in the Soviet Union you'd wake up in a truck to Siberia With your legs around your neck.....

Very funny) The film shows the dirty streets of Russia who attend the Nazis, with balalaikas and vodka, singing Kalinka-Malinka and all special in bad quality, as if nothing in Russia with the 90s has not changed, while the case of racism in Russia is several times smaller than in the U.S. After the events on Wall Street, Americans are talking about human rights look stupid

@tallyboi33 Your fucking joking right? That's quite literally the most ignorant remark I've heard on Youtube. We are protected by a bill of rights, we have more fucking freedom than most of the world.

You are insulting and playing down those who actually don't have rights, you do know that? In the Philippines, there is no divorce. In China you no free speech. In Britain you have no right to arms. In Iran you have no religious freedom.

What is your idea of "rights"? Free shit? Canada is north.

the Americans try to actually tear the world domination and each country not combatless arise to destroy. I am European and see like the Americans everything suppressing and with us play like her to want. Europe is also the purse of the USA. we know its Iraq war financiers etc. the Americans are the largest criminals of all.

Man, just FUCK the MVD. The Russian people deserve to be free, and so do their neighbors that the MVD keeps getting in dirty little wars with. Fuck the censorship, fuck the racism, fuck the police brutality and everything going on there. I know there are people with the right idea in that country, they just keep getting kidnapped and killed by the Kremlin's thugs. I agree with nez though, we have shit here in the US we need to sort out. Sadly we've been assholes to other countries under Bush.
