Conduct Forensic Examination of Mr Shahab Hussain and other inmates who have reported torture and inhuman treatment to NCHR Torture is inflicted in many ways. Sometimes the torturers do not pay any attention to hiding their work and inflict injury indiscriminately, often leaving gross scarring, fractures, and paralyses. In other instances, the torturers use techniques which cause only transient bruising or physical disability. Moreover, psychological methods of torture may be just as damaging as physical yet leave no physical mark at all. Therefore, it is recommended that a thorough forensic examination of Mr Shahab Hussain and other inmates who have alleged torture at the hands of the jail authorities of Central Jail, Rawalpindi should be conducted at the earliest. 15.
