With your permission, I will answer in English. I apologize.
This is reporting on a visit that Richard paid to a prison in Kabul, not to the NDS facility in Kandahar. He talked to people who made allegations of abuse, which we reported to the authorities. But what is important to note in this is that these were not, to our knowledge, Canadian-transferred detainees, and our primary focus has been whether there were any credible allegations of mistreatment of Canadian-transferred detainees. Our ability to make that determination improved enormously with the signing of the May agreement: our databases were improved; we tracked them through the system.
So the fact that there were allegations of mistreatment in Afghan prisons was known to us, and it was reported in international human rights journals, etc. What we were looking at was to create a system that would provide sufficient protection for Canadian-transferred detainees through the system, to ensure that Afghans met the obligations we expected of them.
This precedes the May arrangement. We did the May arrangement to deal with allegations and concerns of this sort.
