  •  Boys are seen in their wheelchairs in a center for the disabled in Kulina, southern Serbia, Thursday, Nov. 15, 2007. The Serbian government angrily rejected allegations that disabled people in the country have been systematically abused, calling the charge "dark propaganda." Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said in a statement that a report released Wednesday by the U.S.-based human rights group MDRI-Mental Disability Rights International was "fabricated" and "malicious."
