Abstract
Usual torture victims examined by doctors do not have any physical evidence but careful history concerning the method of torture and their effect may provide important evidence. Psychological assessment is very important and will invariably reveal torture. The injury if present to be evaluated against the history and documented as common clinical documentation. Proper documentation is the best campaign of a doctor against torture.
