The report documents actual civilian confinement and an administrative punishment, not a seven-day judicial sentence or complete custody duration. The printed historical internee identifier is ISN-48-G-124-CI. Civilian wartime administrative internment; no individual criminal charge or conviction is stated. The source’s permanent-internment terminology describes an administrative classification, not a life sentence. The receipt date, when supplied, is a facility-transfer observation, not a verified first arrest or beginning of all custody. No physical release date, complete custody duration, present custody status, ethnicity or ideology is inferred. The seven days refer only to forfeited allowance and are not entered as imprisonment time.
