Description :
An ICRC employee relates: "Many prisoners’ families can’t afford to travel to the facility so we have a program where we bring them there for free. We had about 30 families gathered together in this field outside the compound, spending time together for the first time in months. You see all kinds of reactions: tears, smiles and everything in between. This man was subdued. He just sat quietly in the grass surrounded by his grandchildren for a few hours."
