          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo: Analizar las prácticas forenses en la Procuraduría General de la República (PGR), actual Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), en la aplicación del Protocolo de Estambul sobre tortura y tratos crueles, inhumanos o degradantes. Método: Auditoría del cumplimiento de 20 criterios (4 de buena praxis de investigación y 16 de validez de la documentación de la evidencia) mediante análisis de 54 dictámenes médico-psicológicos realizados por 21 médicos y 27 psicólogas/os de la PGR. La fiabilidad del instrumento de auditoría fue excelente (kappa=0,89). Resultados: Ninguno de los criterios de buena praxis fue respetado en 38 de los 54 dictámenes. Tampoco se cumplieron la mayoría de los 16 criterios sobre documentación de la evidencia de tortura. No hay diferencias de calidad en los protocolos anteriores y posteriores a la Ley de Prevención de la Tortura de 2017. Conclusiones: La utilización del Protocolo de Estambul en la PGR/FGR es inadecuada.

          Abstract Objective: To analyse forensic practices in the Attorney General's Office (previously PGR by its acronym in Spanish, and FGR at present), in the application of the Istanbul Protocol on torture and/or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. Method: Auditing of the fulfillment of 20 criteria (4 of good research practice, 16 of validity of the evidence documentation) through the analysis of 54 medical-psychological reports made by 21 doctors and 27 psychologists of the PGR/FGR. The reliability of the assessment instrument was excellent (kappa=0.89). Results: None of the good practice criteria was respected in 38 of the 54 opinions. Nor were most of the 16 criteria on documentation of evidence of torture met. There are no quality differences in the protocols before and after the Prevention of Torture Act of 2017. Conclusions: The use of the Istanbul Protocol in the PGR/FGR is inadequate.

          Physician complicity in misrepresentation and omission of evidence of torture in postdetention medical examinations in Turkey.

          Between June 1994 and October 1995, representatives of Physicians for Human Rights studied the problem of physician complicity in torture (ie, misrepresentation and omission of medical evidence in postdetention examinations of detainees) in Turkey. The research consisted of a survey of forensic documentation of torture, interviews with individual physicians who examine detainees, analyses of official medical reports of detainees, and interviews with survivors of torture. Results from the survey, interviews, and medical report analyses provide evidence that torture of political and criminal detainees continues to occur in Turkey and that Turkish physicians are coerced to ignore, misrepresent, and omit evidence of torture in their examinations of detainees to certify that there are no physical signs of torture.
