Das toturas aplicadas a mais "branda" é apagar cigarro no corpo do torturado:
● The German Chair - The detainee is tied to a metal chair with moving parts, then the
chair is folded backwards so that it places extreme pressure on the prisoner's spine and
leads to a quasi-permanent asphyxiation. This treatment may cause vertebrae to be
fractured, a paralysis of the arms for months, chronic headaches, hypertension, urinary
tract infections and stomach and intestinal problems.
● Electrocution, applied to genitals and other body parts.
● The Wheel - The detainee is put inside one or two tires of a large vehicle. The detainee’s
feet and legs are inserted first, then the detainee is folded over, with hands tied behind
the back, and the head is inserted into the tire so that the detainee is in a “U” shapem
with only the head and feet on the wheels; the detainee is beaten on his face and feet
until they bleed.
● Removal of fingernails and toenails.
● Suspension by the hands from the ceiling being made to stand or dangle for days.
● Severe beating on the head and body, or smashing detainee’s head against radiators or
walls.
● Extinguishing cigarettes on the body.
● Sleep deprivation.
SP!
