I'm happy to--and it's still “Arif”.
We did have a serious incident in November after the agreement was in place and we were monitoring very regularly. I should point out that I'm also going to refer to Ron, who was my deputy; we were interchangeable. There was a period in November when I was out of the country and Ron was chargé. So we both acted on this particular case, but I think it's a good example.
So in November, in one of our monitoring missions, at the end of it, there were some allegations made. The allegations were very clearly--I think to everybody doing the inspection--probably of a different magnitude, because we could see some of the responses on the person. I think there were some things in the holding cell that were seen by people. So we moved very quickly. Our standard operating procedures were activated immediately. That meant notifying people in Ottawa. It meant notifying the ICRC. It meant notifying the Afghan human rights commission. It meant notifying Afghan authorities at the highest levels in Kabul.
A number of things came about as a result of that. A decision was made by the commander on the ground to immediately suspend the transfers until we could resume confidence in the system. What resulted then was in fact an even more intense monitoring regime to continue to go back very regularly to that area.
One of the things we had to do was actually protect the people who might be making allegations. We had to be very careful about how we did the monitoring missions and how we continued to do them as we tried to bring things to light.
