The Media Ministry on 1 April denounced an annual report by the U.S. State Department that criticizes Russia for its human rights record and, particularly. \"The Media Ministry sarcastically receives efforts by the U.S. foreign-policy agency to present Russia as a country without a free press,\" the ministry\'s press release said. \"The statements of American officials claiming that there are limitations of the rights and freedom of [Russian] citizens to access information have a particular piquantness against the background of the ongoing military operation of American forces in Iraq.
