Human Rights Watch thanks our many international and local colleagues who provided us with valuable insight and information.  In particular we would like to thank the eyewitnesses, victims, officials, and others who agreed to speak to us about their experiences.  Because of the sensitivity of our research, we regret that we have to withhold the names of those we wish to thank.
