“Highly consistent with allegation of torture.”

An independent medical examination conducted on defendants in the ongoing Capitol Building arson trial, consistent with the UN- Istanbul Protocol, has established injuries and trauma sustained from torture of defendants. He also sustained a right upper arm injury and a cut injury when he was thrown against a doorknob, among other forms of torture. In his opinion, following Jerry’s examination, Dr. Ireland stated that the skin lesions observed on the wrist, finger, and upper arm of Jerry were consistent with the defendant’s allegation of torture and blunt trauma. In his medical opinion on Thomas’s claim, Dr. Ireland explained that the irregular cardiac rhythm, history of blunt trauma, and ongoing psychological manifestations are highly consistent with the patient’s allegations of torture and ill-treatment. Judge Willie ordered that all defendants be taken to AMI at the expense of the Ministry of Justice for a complete medical examination.
