12-06-2008 Video Collection Video phone calls for Bagram prisoners and their relatives
Prisoners in Bagram Airbase, Aghanistan, are now able to talk to relatives they have not seen for months and even years. A video phone link, set up by the ICRC and the United States authorities, allows families to see and talk to their loved ones for 20 minutes at a time. According to Graziella Leite Piccolo, from the ICRC's Kabul office, it can be an emotional experience for both sides.
