Abstract
Sexual violence in prisons constitutes an act of torture which has been used to a widespread in war situations as in former Yugoslavia and Chechnya. However, especially in Islamic countries sexual violence to men has been neglected because of cultural based stigma of the issue. Sexual torture has serious mental, physical and sexual health consequences. This paper describes the physical long-term effect of anal torture in an adult man in prison. Examination was performed following the Istanbul Protocol guidelines. A prolonged relaxation time of the anus as a sign of sphincter insufficiency could be an evidence of traumatic damage of anal sphincter by such kind of torture.
