Field notes “We found a death list by miracle” “In Afghanistan, many people write their own biography and print a few hundred copies, selling them on the market place. Going through one of them, one of our investigators found one referring to the prison where our suspect worked. When he brought it to a translator, he realized the pot of gold he had come across. The book held copies of transport orders to and from this prison, in other words, top-quality incriminating material! There was also the death list: it was handed over by a former UN worker, changed hands many times, and came into the possession of a social worker… who turned out to have brought it back to Austria in her personal archives. One of our witnesses happened to know that she had the list, so the police went there, and she simply handed us copies of that list.” Thijs Berger, Public Prosecutor in The Netherlands 73
