Abstract:
:Descriptions and differentiating factors in post-torture lesions are described and discussed, from the point of view of the medical examination of persons alleging physical abuse of human rights. The lesions caused by various methods of torture are described. The material and expertise is drawn from a long experience both in clinical practice and in the examination of refugees and asylum-seekers who claim to have been tortured.
