People of a specific race/religion being detained simply because of their race/religion, these people had their rights stripped from them and were made to rot in a cell without charges being brought or legal representation. In essence, these people were picked-up of the streets and vanished.

Seems an awful lot like Arabs post 9/11, Jim Crow post Plessy V. and the first crimes against the Jews in Germany.
