Torture is a crime linked to serious human rights violations. To prevent, investigate, sanction and eradicate it, represents one of the biggest challenges when it comes to justice and human rights within our country, which currently holds high levels of impunity, and requires new and better investigation techniques, methods and strategies, that will allow meeting the demands for access to justice requested by the victims of these crimes. People deprived of their liberty (PDL) are demanding that all acts of torture itself become the subject of an investigation conducted by a multidisciplinary team in which lawyers, doctors and psychologists participate, based on the guidelines constituted in the Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, commonly known as the Istanbul Protocol.
