From a region with ethnic and political contrasts, recent human rights violations are documented through medical examinations of a small sample of victims and through information given by local medical doctors and lawyers. Within the individual case stories of torture, there was consistency between the history and the clinical and paraclinical data. Furthermore, the sum of the evidence fitted into a general pattern of torture and killing of civilians committed by the Indian Security Force. Cases of rarely documented mutilating torture are presented. Examples of difficulties in the assessment of complicated cases where a complete history could not be obtained are given, together with examples of difficulties and inaccuracies arising from the use of interpreters, who were possibly biased.
来自一个存在种族和政治差异的地区，近期的人权侵犯行为通过对一小部分受害者的医学检查以及当地医生和律师提供的信息得以记录。在个别酷刑案例中，病史与临床及辅助临床数据之间具有一致性。此外，所有证据都符合印度安全部队对平民实施酷刑和杀戮的总体模式。文中呈现了鲜有记录的致残性酷刑案例。给出了在评估无法获取完整病史的复杂案例时所遇到的困难示例，以及因使用可能存在偏见的口译员而产生的困难和不准确之处的示例。
