CAIRO, March 13 (Saba) -- Egypt rejected on Saturday a report issued by the U.S. Department of State which criticized human rights condition in the country, state-run Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported.

"The report released by the U.S. State Department on human rights conditions in Egypt is not new, and it is something usual and released every year on the same pattern," Mohamed Faeq, head of the complaints office in the National Council of Human rights ( NCHR), said Saturday.

"We should not pay much attention to such report, as local reports from the NCHR, civil societies and international, Arab and African mechanisms concerned outweigh such report," said Faeq.

The council has submitted some proposals to the government in this respect to further improve human rights conditions in Egypt, he said.

The U.S. State Department report which was issued on Thursday, accused Egyptian government for not respecting human rights saying they remained poor, and serious abuses continued in many areas.
