We present a historical example of forensic investigation of civilian victims of an armed conflict. During the Civil War in Finland in 1918, 77 external examinations with photographic documentation and 10 forensic autopsies were carried out. However, incorrect conclusions concerning post-mortem changes made by non-medical persons led into erroneous interpretations of the events. Post-mortem changes were considered to be signs of torture and post-mortem mutilation. This example demonstrates how political purposes may falsify results of a forensic investigation.
我们呈现了一个对武装冲突平民受害者进行法医调查的历史案例。1918年芬兰内战期间，进行了77次有照片记录的外部检查和10次法医尸检。然而，非医务人员对死后变化得出的错误结论导致了对事件的错误解读。死后变化被认为是酷刑和死后残害的迹象。这个例子表明了政治目的如何可能伪造法医调查的结果。
