WASHINGTON (AFP) - The State Department postponed release of a report on the US human rights record, amid controversy over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US soldiers.

The annual report "Supporting Human Rights and Democracy: The US Record" was to have been released Wednesday. Its release "has been postponed for technical reasons that have held up completion of the report," the State Department said in a statement.
