Surety

Full Figure, while speaking on her morning show on Salt TV on Wednesday, said the President had tasked her to take the lead on the release of the activists.

I stood before him and spoke for those people…and he agreed to free them. He told me that I was now their surety and that they must promise not repeat their mistakes,” she said.

The President told me to work with Col Susan from the Court Martial to handle this matter.
