The Foreign Ministry has attacked the U.S. human rights record in a report on injustice and violations around the globe.
In the paper published on Wednesday, Moscow criticized U.S. President Barack Obama for "legalizing indefinite and extrajudicial custody and the return of court-martials."
In its first-ever report on breaches of human rights abroad, Russia focused on EU nations, Canada and Georgia, but spent the most time on the United States.
The ministry has in the past criticized accusations of human rights breaches from the U.S. State Department.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
