People were intimidated by oppression and frightened of torture. Families would therefore not inquire about their children or relatives. The security forces would pick them up and throw them in a ditch. In fact the army and the other security forces did not want the people to claim the dead bodies of their children at all. The outlaws don't enjoy people's support.
People are on the government's side.
No one claims their corpses either'', was the propaganda. In recent years, the situation has changed. People are now claiming corpses from the army and other security forces. If they can take possession of the body, they take it to their village for a proper and ceremonial burial. No one goes to his house to offer their condolences.
