Arbitrary Arrest, Torture in Mantong Township
An incident is a public claim made by a civil society organization, an international organization, a government, or another source that a violation of human rights was perpetrated by the defense and security forces of a country. Graph analysis can generate linkages based on the dates and locations between these incidents and chains of command.
The Security Force Monitor does not make allegations and nothing in this platform should be taken as the Monitor making an allegation against a unit or person. In our work we treat all claims of human rights violations as “alleged violations” and clearly indicate that these are claims made by other organizations.
Incident counts are drawn from human rights documentation that has been structured into data and should not be used to make claims about trends in alleged violations, nor should they be considered as the entire human rights record for any given country or location within that country.
Based on 1 claims made by 1 sources, Arbitrary Arrest, Torture in Mantong Township occurred on 2012/8/15.

Inferred Chains of Command to this Incident
Sources establish claims about the chain of command, commanders, the sites and areas of operations of units, and incidents through time. Security Force Monitor organizes these claims into structured data. The linkages in time between these claims time-bound periods are inferred according to the Monitor’s methodology. Individual time-bound chains of command can be generated from this data using graph analysis.
Every chain of command which included Arbitrary Arrest, Torture in Mantong Township is shown below. These chains are disaggregated to show the entire time-range of each chain from the lowest unit in the chain to the highest unit at the top of the chain. Any individual who was part of that chain during the date-range is shown as well.
The chains show any direct or positional incidents which are claimed to have occurred during the time-range. Direct incidents have a source which directly names the unit as a perpetrator. Positional incidents occur when there is an intersection between claims from sources alleging an incident occurred and other sources giving a unit an overlapping location and date-range.
