that's not cannibalism, they are victims - the crime goes to the villain that makes them eat the flesh.. and that's usually considered sociopathy, if not outright psychopathy.. it's a moral event horizon even in grimdark settings to make other people eat their loved ones or similar.. goes back to Ancient Greece and even Zeus would strike down the offender, not the victim, for the crime.

so even by ancient standards unwillingly / unknowingly eating human flesh is not cannibalism, to be cannibalism it needs to be willing - forced-cannibalism is torture and thus falls under "victim", they shouldn't be listed under the category because it's not accurate to describe a person forced to eat human meat as a true cannibal, cannibals do so by their own will.. not by the tricks or torture of madmen.
