Show exposes US double standards

China Central Television, the State broadcaster, aired a documentary on Sunday about the United States' double standards on human rights.

Based on extensive media reports both inside and outside the US, and interviews with many human rights experts from China, the US, France, Canada, Russia and Switzerland, the 45-minute program suggested that the US tramples on American people's human rights in all walks of life. Last year, more than 560,000 people across the US were homeless, the documentary showed, citing media reports.

The program also said that the country's primary women's prison, Lowell Correctional Institution, where 2,696 convicts are held, is rampant with corruption, torture of prisoners and sexual abuse.
