Criminal defense lawyers in Thailand Chaninat and Leeds have been successfully defending clients for decades.
Human Rights Watch has called for a global ban on anal examinations, saying:
“Under international law, forced anal examinations are a form of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment that may amount to torture.”
