The editorial presents some conclusions from the Human Rights Watch report and includes some personal accounts of prisoners, as well as the Supreme Court too close of a decision. Well presented.
Although this is an opinion piece, and we expect some bias, Parvaz is not persuasive here to anyone but those who agree with her point and don't need any support for it. There is little in the way of facts or other evidence, and the evidence she does provide has many weaknesses (e.g. it comes from hearsay). Some of the information is confusing, such as the reference to "camps" that have varying rules. Do they all have the rules she mentions next? This column would benefit from a reorganization and a clearer statement of points with supporting information that follows.
