Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International and several DFAIT officials, such as Eileen Olexiuk, all stated that the allegations of abuse of prisoners by the Afghan NDS were common knowledge in 2005 and in earlier years. In fact, Human Rights Watch told us they had presented reports dating back to 2002, 2003, 2004, alerting the international community about serious allegations of abuse by Afghan authorities.
Were you aware of those allegations in 2005?
