Fine Sorcha - I made a mistake in the country, no harm no foul. I'm glad you questioned me!!!!

I do agree with you - I think it very well could be a failure to communicate and a failure on BOTH parties to understand each others needs and concerns.

I do realize that they were upset that they were told to take a shower, and I NEVER questioned that they were shattered by the whole experience.   My point is that there could have been legitimate reasons for the actions, and the news report can lead people to imagine all sorts of heinous acts - which may not be true.

Everyone loves to be a shithouse lawyer, but they don't want to ask questions or think.   I'm with you Sorcha, I am waiting for more info to decide - that has been my point.
