swelling of clotted blood within the tissues) measuring 13x13cm. He also had hematoma measuring 9x12cm at the back of his right thigh. His flank had tenderness which measured 8x11cm. Although he had no bruising on the buttocks, they were painful. The doctor informed that hematomas can take long to heal. They can lead to acute kidney failure. When they begin to break down to return to normal tissue in the healing process, the debris of the hematoma poses danger to the kidneys. Complaint B was therefore advised to take a lot of fluids to flash out the hematoma debris from the kidneys. He was beaten under the feet i.e. falanga and was referred to a physiotherapist. The doctor indicated that the effects of falanga are long term and do not heal completely due to the compartment of nerves and blood vessels under the feet. The nerves are delicate in that they link with the brain. Nerve damage leads to problems in walking, especially long distances due to increased sensations. Special shoes may be required in order to manage the pain and effects of nerve damage. He had a painful eye and was referred to an ophthalmologist. The doctor indicated that although there is no way to medically determine what weapons were used to assault Complainant B, the presence of the hematoma and the pain under his feet as a result of being assaulted was consistent with allegations of assault with a blunt weapon such as a baton stick as alleged. Complainant B was given painkillers and antibiotics. He was also given tablets to assist him to fall asleep since he was experiencing sleep disturbances because of flashbacks of the trauma of torture at the hands of the Anti-riot police and the nights spent in police cells and Remand Prison. Lack of sleep was also as a result of anxiety of the pending court case on the 28th of July 2016. 8.2.1 The CSU Doctor also examined Complainants C, D and E on the 12th of July 2016. She confirmed that Complainants had not been assaulted but complained of chest pains due to teargas inhalation. The complainants had sounds in their chest and were given antibiotics to clear them. The Doctor indicated that she was not aware of any long term medical effects of teargas inhalation and she would need to research further on whether there were long term effects. To her knowledge, teargas inhalation has short term effects which cleared after a short while. 8.2.2 Complainant F was also examined by a doctor at Counselling Services Unit. The doctor informed that he had several dog bites on Page 20 of 37
