They can quiet their 'database' share, accompanied by photographs of victims and the name of their owner. The system also helps them to prevent escapes.

System
,, Each slave is put into the system. If such a person to a checkpoint IS stopped, she's out for the effort. They know immediately that she is on the run and to whom they belong, "said the founder of charity Luftbrucke Iraq.
