Top WHO official denies slavery claims
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/a ... ery-claims
The World Health Organisation’s top official in Thailand has denied beating his Ethiopian domestic helper and treating her like a modern day slave.
The 25-year-old unnamed maid filed a complaint with police last month accusing Dr Yonas Tegegn, the WHO’s representative in Thailand, and his wife of abusing her and forcing her to work without pay for nearly two years.
Police on Wednesday said they would investigate the allegations and question the couple, who are also Ethiopian nationals.
In a statement released on Saturday, Tegegn denied the claims.

A while back in an unrelated post we were trying to give examples of irony to our Khmer friends. This, friends, is irony.

Is it though? They're not running an anti-trafficking organization.

Perhaps we could agree that it could be -more- ironic, then.
