Forensic Assessment of Human Rights Violations: Advocacy as a Public Health Measure

Global public health may involve some degree of political advocacy, particularly for those health problems associated with abuse of a population by political authorities. A case example is presented in which doctors and psychologists undertook a forensic assessment of a population of Sikhs in Punjab, India, in support of a class action lawsuit alleging gross violations of human rights.
