one case a w h o driver was sent in a marked rachel vehicle to kidnap a minor was brought to one of these hotels and was raped by a w h o employee. the reality is that it is the case that you funds as well as world bank funds, u. s. government funds, u k funds. all the funds that went toward this response did indeed enable been sorts of response these sorts of abuse rather on a massive scale. so it can be said that it is potentially a very small, helpful 1st measure to hold w h ho to account for things that occurred in this country. and it's important that you put on the table the requirement that restitution be paid to victims of the sorts of abuse persons. queen elizabeth has been advised by doctors to rest for at least another 2 weeks. it follows an overnight hospital stay last week.
