One of the recommendations describes the incident in question as torture: “It was established that the complainants were detained by State judicial police officers on 10 June 2000, allegedly while carrying out a robbery; they were later beaten by their captors, as they themselves stated and as stated in the medical certificates issued to them by the (...) medical officer of the Office of the State Attorney-General, which showed that they had suffered injuries chiefly to the front and back of the abdomen and chest; Mr. Melitón Ruiz Ruiz also suffered second-degree burns.”10 65. Twenty-three recommendations described the incidents concerned as involving injuries. The summaries suggest that, the State Human Rights Commission’s descriptions notwithstanding, many of the incidents could be categorized as torture under article 1 of the Convention, as in the following examples: “The complainant’s human rights had been violated insofar as it was established that on 29 July he presented changes in health that had left physical marks on his body; the senior nurse (…) at the prison infirmary, and the (...) medical expert at the La Costa Regional Deputy Public Attorney’s Office, confirmed that the prisoner presented unhealed injuries, which had probably been inflicted by the Director of the Regional Penitentiary in Santa Catalina Juquila, Oaxaca, in order to obtain information on a robbery committed at the prison shop; the complainant’s version of events was corroborated by medical certificates and by statements from other prisoners.
