The Salazar Case: The Wound Speaks
More details about the episode and medical reports confirm that journalist Fabián Salazar was tortured. In the operating room, a "debridement" was performed — that is, the irregular edges of the jagged wound were trimmed. Those irregular edges are the result of a slow cut with a saw, which went through skin, fat, and muscle all the way to the tendons. The medical report states that the wound spans the full width of the left forearm and that there is exposure of tendons that remain functional.
