Dear Friends, Colleagues,
Human Wrongs Watch is sincerely grateful for your patience and understanding as well as the very kind good wishes that so many friends and colleagues have been expressing.
These generous good wishes did work as the eyesight surgeries have been successful.
While recovering slowly, Human Wrongs Watch has today 8 September 2020 started resuming its provision of “unseen” news and views.
And it will gradually continue doing so.
Thank you very much indeed!
