North Korea's government said Wednesday that the police shooting of an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, is evidence that the United States is a "graveyard of human rights."
The Aug. 9 death of Michael Brown in Ferguson triggered nearly two weeks of sometimes-violent street protests.
In a statement carried by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency, the spokesman called the United States a country "where people are subject to discrimination and humiliation due to their races and they are seized with such horror that they do not know when they are shot to death."
It accused America of acting like an "international human rights judge," and said the U.S. should "mind its own business, instead of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries."
"(U.S) should have a correct understanding of what the genuine human rights are like and how they should be guaranteed," the statement said.
