It is unfortunate that in a study group like these, their are low
minded people who generalised statement without facts instead of
discussing the issue at hand. I believe no country in these whole
world that is a saint without criminal records.
I hope we will not have a reason to turn the study group into an
avenue for attacking countries rather than the initial objective.
