Some say that there was an uprising in the prison. Others note that the inmates wanted to visit the women s section of the jail. Still others note the belligerence of the inmates towards the recanters as the principal cause of the disturbance. There is still one other explanation which says that the authorities wanted to end the impasse by a decision to transfer the rebellious inmates to another prison and their disobedience to the orders brought about the altercation. All these reports cite the government officials as their sources.
None make a reference to the views of the inmates.
None note that the attorneys for the inmates were not allowed to visit their clients. None say that the families of the prisoners were barred from visits to the jail. None state that the journalists were not even allowed to enter the prison. As a result, the need for an investigative report became apparent. Those who witnessed the events and those who lived through them needed to be questioned to get to the facts of the event.
