[size=45]And he stated, "Vian is celebrating this year her 18-year-old, although she did not live childhood like the rest of her peers, eight years away from school and eight years of malnutrition of the body, mind and spirit, and eight years of sexual persecution and enslavement as a weapon used by ISIS in the genocide."[/size]
