    It was used to concentrate high status prisoners of a political ideology. It’s still a concentration camp if it’s only 200 people who were all in leadership of a political group.

    By your definition it means there were no concentration camps of communists in Indonesia, they were simply torture camps.

    Here’s an example of one that held a mere 500 people.

    Gitmo had a peak of 680 I think. The fact that it’s 25 today is an admission of guilt by state more than anything else given the history of how, where and why prisoners were moved and who is left.
