2.9 EXAMPLES Presented differently, the previous diagram can look as follows: ARREST OF DESACULA ET AL EVENT Arrest Direct commission of act Detention PASAY POLICE FORCE Direct commission of act Arrest INTELLIGENCE AND SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP EDGAR DESACULA Direct commission of act Torture Direct commission of act RAMON AGUILAR Figure 2.3 Alternative graphical presentation of an event By tracing the different lines of connection, one can readily see that there are four acts connected to the event, and that these four acts point to two victims. The first act, for instance, can be seen to be an arrest committed against Desacula. On his part, it can be seen that he is the subject of three acts. Similarly, the connecting lines show which acts have been committed by the two groups of perpetrators. For instance, it can easily be seen that the Pasay Police Force was responsible for directly committing three acts: the arrest of Desacula, the detention of Desacula, and the arrest of Aguilar. The next few examples illustrate various ways in which events can be linked in a chain of events.  Large event encompassing a smaller event On 1 May 1998, the headquarters of ABC trade union was raided and the union’s President was arrested.
