This sounds unpleasant...but I don't know why she rejected their offers so many times. If you don't seem suspicious at first, why shun all attempts at "official" contact? I'm not saying that it's her fault or anything of that nature, just that it might have went a bit smoother if she had been more forthcoming(whether or not she was compelled to). That must have been frightening though to suddenly have the fuzz at the foot of your bed though - very uncool of law enforcement to behave that way. Perhaps that's not as out of the norm as it seems to me(someone from the West).

- sirmike_ 8y agoUhhh! She had every right. Free will. No other reasons need to be given. I’m not debating with you I’m just shocked that you would posit such a silly statement “but I don't know why she rejected their offers so many times.”
- yorwba 8y agoOf course she had the right and doesn't have to explain herself, but it would certainly have been informative if she'd done so. Maybe she thought that listening to the official story would be a waste of time and that they would only try to pressure her. But knowing where the official story differs from what she personally observed, and what kind of changes in her reporting they'd have demanded, would have been interesting in itself.
