Information about the situation in the sphere of human rights in Russia contained in the report issued by Human Right Watch (HRW) is false, Russian Foreign Ministry Special Representative for Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law Konstantin Dolgov said Monday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The announcement comes as Human Rights Watch issued the so-called World Report with an overview of the human rights violations across the world.

“The ‘Russian’ chapter of the Human Rights Watch report on the situation in the sphere of human rights is a compilation of lies and manipulation [of facts] … It is clear that it was a political order of the outgoing US administration,” Dolgov wrote on his Twitter page.

​The report accused Russia of prosecutions for online speech, provoking a “human rights crisis” in “occupied” Crimea, infringement on LGBT rights and other violation of human rights.
