No. Not “detainees”.
“Detainees” is a bullshit word. It’s like “collateral damage”. Stop using it. Now. Don’t say it anymore.
Anyone who is still ‘detained’ by now is a prisoner. If they’re lucky. If they’re still alive.
Stop using the word ‘detainee’.
Call them prisoners.
And the ones no one has heard from yet..
call them ‘missing’.
Not the missing ‘detainees’.
the missing.
