Russia Describes Inclusion in U.S. List as Outrageous

Moscow, Jun 20 (Prensa Latina) Russian Foreign Ministry''s Commissioner

for Human Rights, Konstantin Dolgov, assured today that Russia will

provide an adequate response to the annual report of the U.S. Department

of State on human trafficking, which he described as outrageous.

Sanctions included in the U.S. law "On the protection of human

trafficking victims" and its implementation does nothing but outrage,

affirmed the official in a communiqué made public by the ministry.

Dolgov underlined this new list contradicts the constructive

agreements recently outlined by President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. peer

Barack Obama in Northern Ireland during their meeting while the G-8 summit

was taking place.

Consistent with providing pretexts to justify sanctions imposed on other

nations that try to follow an independent path, the U.S. Department of

State included Russia in the lowest category within its annual report on

human trafficking.

The list includes Cuba, a country Washington has been blocking for more

than 50 years, China, Iran North Koream Syria, Uzbekistan, Algeria, Yemen,

Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This list is backed by a law that authorizes the United States to

implement punishments such as denying funding for cultural, academic

exchanges or vetoing the grant of financial aid of the International

Monetary Fund or the World Bank.

Such actions could come into force since October 1, unless Obama

decides to suspend its implementation for considering it damaging to

national interests, although they are already in force in countries

blocked such as Cuba.
