It is aimed to periodically compare the effects of forensic medical evaluations made during the detention process in terms of making torture visible, preventing and providing access to justice. 5046 people who were detained between 01.01.2012 and 31.12.2021 applied to the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey (HRFT) due to torture and ill-treatment. The results show that forensic examinations are not conducted in accordance with the principles of IP in a procedural sense, and the diagnosis and treatment processes are seriously disrupted in applications made due to torture.
This study was presented at 21st Forensic Science Congress on 03-06 November 2022.
