"The basis for the new accusations, some of which were classified, was not disclosed at the hearing. Tribunal members acknowledged they were just as confused as the detainees about the origin of some of the allegations.
"At this point, we don't know why you are being accused of being a member of the XXX Group," one military officer, whose name was redacted from the tribunal transcript, told B. "Do you have any idea why you are being connected with this group?"
"I don't know," B replied. "I've been here for three years and these accusations were just told to me.""

Another detainee was flagged because he had performed mandatory service in the YYYian army more than a decade ago, as a cook." ....

What Fish Are You Chasing?
Michael Dudok De Wit's "The Monk and The Fish (Le Moine et Le Poisson)" - brilliant! His other short, "Father and Daughter" is quite lovely as well.
