Abstract

Torture is a global problem and affects a large number of people worldwide. The opinion of doctors in certifying various types of physical, and psychological injuries being caused accidentally or resulting from attempted suicide or by torture is very significant. A number of times, discrepancies between complaints and physical findings are noted. Meticulous examination is desirable in order to prove guilt or innocence.
