Notice how the students are all in "DETENTION".
Like they had to stay after school for chewing gum in class or not handing in their homework.
They don't like referring to the students as prisoners.
And they think they're fooling people with this word substitution game they play. The families and neighbors of the thousands of missing students know the truth. Word gets around ....and they know "detention" is a misnomer.

They could use a good thesaurus, that will help them use the descriptive words necessary to convey the true story.

I think they use a special thesaurus they made up themselves. That's why torture in prison = detention, - and 2 or 3 friends hanging out together = "creating a gang", which of course leads to prison or worse.
They carry their own thesauruses around in case they have to explain to Westerners what the hell's going on in Iran.
