civilian internees

Civilian internees are non-military civilians who are detained or confined during times of war or conflict, often by the government or military authorities. They are usually individuals considered poses a threat, enemy nationals, or who are suspected of supporting the enemy, though they are not combatants. Unlike prisoners of war, civilian internees typically do not have the same legal protections, and their detention is often justified by national security concerns. Their confinement is intended to prevent espionage, sabotage, or other actions that could harm the war effort, but it can also raise humanitarian and legal issues.
