Human Rights Watch has found that government officials threatened and coerced victims' family members to present false information about what happened to their loved ones. Those who refused to fabricate stories were detained. This comes after an HRW report confirmed 104 cases of people who were illegally detained, and in many cases tortured or ill-treated, in military detention centers.
