Certainly it does. One of the fundamental rights that attach to any detention regime, be it in the midst of an armed conflict or not, is ongoing, reliable access to family members. Amnesty International has not done particular research on that, so I can't say we know of a certain number of cases where family contact has been impeded or difficult. But I think you're quite right to imagine that in the circumstances prevailing in Afghanistan, with the very difficult prison conditions that have really been deteriorating and not improving recently, it will be a real problem.
