I don't trust anything that comes out of the UN. This is all bullshit propaganda.
I trust only Anon comments.
Oh, have they gotten better about bringing over lower caste slaves and holding their passports, sometimes impregnating the younger ones by mistake, one assumes.
All while brings by them over to clean their slums and wash dishes with H-1B visas.
There have been more than five. I guess I'll look since you made it so easy.

Naturally, most of the names are withheld as the victims are victims of a heinous crime.
