Human rights, discovery as freedom of expression, is in danger in Germany and other European countries, according to the 2024 human rights report by the US State Department.
The report, which has been seen as a reliable point of reference for global human rights advocacy in the past years, has been criticized by human rights groups as several lapses and mixes to fulfill the political objectives of the current US administration.
The German government rejected the report.
“There is no censorship in Germany,” said Deputy Government spokesman Stephen Mayor.
“We have a high level of freedom of expression in Germany, and we will continue to defend it in every form,” hey said.
What did the report say about Germany?
“The human rights situation in Germany deteriorated during the year,” said the report of the report Germany entry.
“Important human rights issues included freedom of expression and reliable reports of crimes, violence, or threat of violence of violence,” the report said.
However, the report stated that the German government “took some reliable steps to investigate, prosecute and punish the officers who violated human rights.”
The report accused the comments made by US vice-president JD Vance in February, accusing Germany and other European colleagues of banning the free speech and attempting to marginalize far-flung parties, including alternative (AFD) for Germany.

Kid gloves for Israel, Al Salvador
The report presents a much smaller section for Israel compared to last year and fails to reduce the serious humanitarian crisis and death toll in the Gaza Strip among the ongoing Israeli aggressive against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
Al Salvador, which was prepared as “important human rights issues” under the Biden administration in the 2023 report, was mildly closed in 2024.
The 2024 report about the Central American country said, “There was no credit report of important human rights violations.”
The Trump administration’s relationship with Al Salvador has strengthened in recent months, Washington using a high security mega-gel in the country using the migrants of the house under the new migration policies.
Russia’s ongoing invasion in Ukraine was mainly referred to in the report as “Russia-Ukraine”, although it was said that Russia’s army and officials were reported to have come, crime, crime against humanity and abuses in Ukraine.
In contrast, the country discovers as South Africa and Brazil, whose governments have enraged Trump, for serious criticism what was not in the 2023 report.
‘Soviet propaganda reflective’
The report was released with a delay as the officials appointed by US President Donald Trump replaced the earlier draft to bring it with foreign policies and ideological diagonals of his administration.
It was prepared after the department under major reform, during which hundreds of people were rejected, the agency’s bureau of democracy, human rights and many from Labor, which have a big role in writing reports.
In April, State Secretary Marco Rubio wrote in a piece of opinion that the bureau had become a nest of “leftist activists” and pledged that the Trump administration would change its attention in favor of “Western values”.
Josh Paul, a former state department official and director of the non -government organization, said, “The report shows that when the political agenda takes priority on the facts,” Josh Paul said, Josh Paul said, who is an officer and director of the state department as a new policy of a new policy.
He said, “The result is a very decomposed product that is more contemplated for Soviet promotional release than a democratic system,” he told the Reuters News Agency.
The Rights Groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have criticized the report so much, stating that the Trump administration misrepresented some records of abuses and left others as per their political agenda.
However, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce defended the report, stating that it was restructured to improve the readability and prevent it from the list of “politically biased demands and claims”.
