But such were the claims of the "victim". If you look at his complaints, nothing there falls under the international definitions of torture. He's got that jailhouse lawyer mindset now. He may say his medical wishes were ignored, but his power of attorney on medical matters have been taken over by his designated guardian, the USG. Here's a case.. Martinez's claim that he was force-fed also fails to state a constitutional claim. The mere allegation of forced-feeding does not describe a constitutional violation. Bureau of Prison regulations authorize medical officers to force-feed an inmate if they determine that the inmate's life or permanent health is in danger. See 28 C.F.R. § 549.60-549.66 (1991). Attachments to Martinez's pleadings reveal that USMCFP medical officers determined that forced-feeding was necessary to his health. Martinez's allegation that a district court ordered the forced-feedings discontinued is unfounded; the record reveals that the district court merely issued an order deleting, without explanation, a paragraph from a previous order requiring that Martinez be force-fed. bulk.resource.org
