Medico Legal Report for Alleged Victims of Torture and Torture Survivors

Byfrcsl

This publication is a proposed amendment to the existing common Medico Legal Report (MLR). It is to be used exclusively for the reporting and documentation of alleged cases of torture. Currently alleged victims of torture and survivors of torture are examined using the standard common MLR, which does not adequately address or specify the documentation of physical or psychological aspects of torture. The new MLR proposed in this publication developed by the College of Forensic Pathologists of Sri Lanka improves on the existing common format.

This publication is available in English, Sinhala and Tamil.
