The report itself has been accused of political bias, with the Trump administration softening criticism of Israel and El Salvador.

Human rights, such as freedom of expression, are under threat in Germany and other European countries, according to the 2024 Human Rights Report by the US State Department.

The report, which in former years has been seen as a reliable point of reference for global human rights advocacy, has been criticized by human rights groups as containing numerous omissions and mischaracterizations to fit the current US administration’s political aims.

    Remind me…

    • Which country checks tourists’ social media for anti-Trump posts on entry?
    • Which country regularly arrests (and in many cases deports) both their own citizens and foreigners without consulting a court?
    • Which country spies on its own citizens to figure out if they may have had an abortion?

    But sure, even thinking about doing something about a right-wing party that has been classified as extremist by multiple courts and explicitly lists several human rights violations as their goals… that’s a step too far…
