03

Has anyone said who authorised this?

Any order this archive holds, and, where it holds none, the office that would hold the record and how to ask that office to keep it.

04

What remains unknown?

Gaps in the record, written as questions with a status. A question changes state only when a document changes it.

Help find the missing evidence

These are the specific documents that would close the open questions above.

    Citizens, journalists, lawyers and political workers each hold different parts of this record. A deployment order, a wireless log, a hospital slip, a station diary page. An RTI reply saying "no such record exists" counts too, and is filed the same way.
