MOSCOW. Dec 27 (Interfax) - Russia will keep an attentive eye on human rights violations against Russians in the United States as well as abuse of Russian children adopted by Americans, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an exclusive interview with Interfax on Thursday.
"We will keep a close watch on violations of the rights and interests of our citizens in the United States as well as offenses against little Russians adopted by American families. We will press for adequate punishment for the offenders and draw attention to gross human rights violations inside the United States and to the non-participation of Washington in numerous human rights conventions, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child," the minister said.
