36
00:02:17,039 –> 00:02:20,520

and enjoined them as well as their colleagues nationwide to
116
00:07:53,800 –> 00:07:56,519

00:08:11,720 –> 00:08:14,000

129
00:08:41,799 –> 00:08:45,000

130
00:08:45,039 –> 00:08:47,919
sacrifices of those who laid down their lives in the
131
00:08:47,960 –> 00:08:51,639
service of our fatherland. This arrest is for the families
132
00:08:51,720 –> 00:08:55,200
