The technical specifications were all stated in less than a page, which is an indication that the company does not want to know what exactly is being auctioned. Any contracted system can mean a violation of rights: \u201cIt is mostly concerned about using the various reports collated like this against ordinary citizens, activists and people who are simply opposed to the current government. As we are all aware, there are countless reports of abuses in the use of these types of systems around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"tts__custom-position_bottom_fixed\"
