what does "country" mean in this case

In the tables there's a section for "country". Is the country of birth, where they were captured, or their country of residence? Gaismagorm (talk) 15:54, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BLP problems

Is it just me, or is this list just one big WP:BLP nightmare? It's listing by names a lot of unnotable individuals who are effectively being accused of wrongdoing by a government, many of which have not been formally charged much less convicted, no? Naming the non-blue-linked detainees seems to violate at least the spirit and possibly the word of WP:BLPCRIME. This list should be reduced to the blue links. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 13:34, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
