You indicated that. But that was happening, and those were the methods they were using.
One of the things you also mentioned is that in your request for equipment, you did ask for new boots, and it was suggested--and this has been out before--that for health and safety reasons your staff...and you say “we will be “walking through blood and fecal matter when either on patrol or in the prison”. So there is a clear indication that the conditions in the prison needed to be upgraded.
I want to ask Mr. Proudfoot this. One of the things you mentioned--and this is absolutely key to try to figure out what was happening for a period of about 15 months--regarding the reporting that was being done to the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission is that there were concerns that people weren't able to access that information, or that people weren't actually availing themselves of it. The generals, when they were here, said that during that period before the update of the arrangement they weren't responsible for monitoring detainees after the handover. We've established now that we couldn't figure out where the detainees went because of the arrangement. What we did know is that the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, as well as the Red Cross, were actually making it known that there were concerns about torture. In fact, they had been prolific on that.
Had you read any of those reports?
