RNA - According to the report, military operations in Syria caused a large number of civilian casualties, Xinhua reported.

The US-led coalition and Marines had reportedly bombed or shelled at least 12 schools, 15 mosques, 15 bridges as well as residential neighborhoods, hospitals, cultural relics and refugee camp, according to motherjones.com.

The Muslim Times website reported in June 2017 that the US military had attacked Syrian government forces "at least four times in recent months", including a missile strike in April against a Syrian airfield.

Myles Hoenig, an American political analyst, said the United States was violating the UN Charter by conducting a war of aggression against Syria.

According to Fars News Agancy, in a hearing of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, former Guantanamo detainee Djamel Ameziane prepared a written statement saying he was detained for 11 years, faced prolonged incommunicado detention, multiple forms of torture, and never received a judicial determination regarding the legality of his detention, the report quoted Al-Jazeera website as saying.

Also, the UN and human rights organizations had criticized US authorities for creating a "legal black hole" in Guantanamo allowing for the infinite detention of suspects without charge, and for holding many of the detainees for more than a decade, according to a report of The USA Today website.

The report released by China also said that the United States has made cyber warfare tools, citing WikiLeaks information that the US National Security Agency operators had hacked into Pakistani mobile networks and had been spying on hundreds of IP addresses in the country.

The report was released by the Information Office of the State Council, China's cabinet, in response to the US Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2017.
