Physicians' Involvement in Coercive Interrogations

After a firefight somewhere in an armed conflict, the troops capture an injured combatant of the adversary party.

It is not clear whether the person is a prisoners of war, a common civilian, or a civilian actively participating in hostilities. Their military leaders are interested in the information that this person might hold.

As the wounded combatant awakes, a physician performs a medical check-up of the now detained person. Subsequently, the detainee is interrogated, possibly with the use of coercion or even torture.
