Utrekians holding out on Dino prisoners?

A few days ago some 70 Dinos were repatriated following the prisoner exchange agreed between the Utrek and the Allies. DDS prisoners will be repatriated next week. The Raegris acted as a third party and also returned the 129 Utrekians held prisoner by the Dinos. Repatriating the DDS held prisoners will take longer as they have over 20,000 including troops on Loeuss.

Consul Ronald has expressed puzzlement at the small number of Dinos returned, saying that the Dino Army has estimated around 200 Dinos had been made captive by the Utrek. The Utrekians said that the rest died of their injuries or "other causes". Dino prisoners have reported that the Utrekians were firm but did not mistreat them. However some officers may have received "special treatment".

The highest ranking officer captured was Gibson, who was not returned. The Utrek have not said what happened to him and some 12 others officers over the rank of Centurion.
