My god, that is such a sad picture.

Apparently a lot of the bodies have identifying tags. There has been a conflict between human rights groups, who are complaining that the deaths aren't being properly identified and cataloged and information is being lost (that might later be used to bring charges against the perps, for example) and the relatives of the dead, who just want to take the remains home with them for 'proper' burial and to hell with the formalities. I can see the case on both sides, and I don't think there's a truly right answer to this one.
