Russia retained its "Not Free" rating in the annual "Freedom in the World 2016" report compiled by the Freedom House human rights organisation, scoring only 22 of a possible 100 points, with its shortcomings deepened by economic recession and growing intolerance of dissent.

The report's publication on January 27 coincided with the release of Transparency International's Corruptions Perceptions Index 2015, where Russia also continued its slide towards the foot of the ranking.

LOL. Germany gets a “free” rating of 95. Hilarious, you are free to be raped by Muslims your own government shipped in.

Morons.

Sweden scored 100, at the top of the rankings. Noted for its protection of the what the UN regards as the most basic human right - that right to rape women in accordance with ones conscience.

Lets score the Russians down because they won’t be one of our vassal states. groan..

Yeah - Russia is run by thugs - and like we still have the ‘rule-of-law’? The USA is now a ‘cartel-socialist’ country now with all the associated corruption. More socialist than the Russians (41% vs 35%.)

So Putin might have taken out a turn-coat spy - and we don’t do the same with drones? ( killing a few civilians on the way).

We are owned by the Saudis - (google why it is a secret the amount of our debt they own). But I have much more in common with Russians than I do with Saudis. I don’t think it is OK to rape one’s maids.

When ever you see the words “human rights organization” you can be sure it really means homosexual depravity rights. The depraved queers have taken over the human rights industry.

The Obama regime is striving hard to match that rating.

Here the rich simply prefer to hire compliant maids, no rape needed.
