In this form they were taken away from crowded places, so that no one heard their cries heart-rending, and threw it in the open field, with bound hands and feet, the sun, without water and without food. 5. The torture lasted for 5 days. 6. In the unit were still alive, and the rest died of starvation and not even thirsty, but on intolerable, inhumane suffering caused by drying, shrinking rawhide on the head of camel skin. Inexorably shrinking under the rays of the scorching sun, the width of clenched, squeezed like a shaved head slave iron hoop. Already on the second day began to germinate shaved hair of the martyrs. Hard and straight Asian hair sometimes growing into rawhide, in most cases, finding no way out, and folded her hair again, leaving the ends to the scalp, causing even greater suffering. Within a day the man was losing his mind. Only on the fifth day zhuanzhuany came to check whether anyone had survived from the prisoners.

A small addition: This torture described in the book of the Marquis de Sade's "Justine, or the success of vice" . This is a small excerpt from a large piece of text, where de Sade describes alleged torture of the world. But why is alleged? According to many critics, the Marquis was very fond of invent. He had an extraordinary imagination and a couple of obsessions, so this is torture, like some others, might be his imagination. But do not apply to this field Donasenu as the Baron Alphonse Myunhauzenu. This torture, in my opinion, if it did not exist before, it is quite realistic. Unless, of course, to pump up a person before painkillers (opiates, alcohol, etc.), that had he not died before his body touched by a grating. 14. Inflated with air through the anus terrible torture in which the man pumped the air through the anal canal. There is evidence that in Russia it has sinned, even Peter himself first.

Although history has not preserved and the name of its inventor, said he was an expert konnozavodskogo case and to put down their horses came up with an unusual device. Only a few decades, fans have made fun of the people in this unit breeder the torture machine for people. The machine was a wooden frame like a ladder, cross the bar which had had a very acute angle, so that when people put on their backs, they cut into the body from head to toe. The staircase ended in a huge wooden spoon, which, like a cap, put his head. How it works 1. On both sides of the frame and a "cap" were drilled in each of them pass through the ropes. The first of them was dragging on the forehead tortured, the latter linked toes. As a rule, the ropes were thirteen, but especially for their number increased thrust. 2. Special adaptations of rope stretched more and more - to the victims felt that by crushing the muscles, they dug into the bone. 16. Dead Man's Bed (Modern China) Torture, "Dead Man's bed," the Chinese Communist Party applies mainly to those prisoners who are trying to protest the illegal detention with a hunger strike. In most cases prisoners of conscience, was jailed for his beliefs. How it works 1. The arms and legs to strip naked prisoner tied to the corners of the bed where the mattress instead of a wooden board with cut-out hole. Under the hole is substituted for a bucket of excrement. Often a rope tied tightly to the bed and the human body so that he could not move at all. In this position the person is continuously for several days to weeks. 2. In some prisons, such as jail number 2, Shenyang City Prison and Jilin, the police under the back of the victim still enclose a hard object in order to enhance pain. 3. It happens also that the bed is placed vertically, and 3-4 days a man hanging, stretched over the limb. 4. To these tortures is added and force-feeding, which is performed using a tube inserted through the nose into the esophagus, which is poured a liquid diet. 5. Follow this procedure mainly prisoners on the orders of protection, rather than health professionals. They do it very rude and unprofessional, often causing serious damage to internal organs. 6. Gone through this torture say that it is a shift in the vertebrae, joints, arms and legs, as well as numbness and blackening of the extremities, which often leads to disability. 17. Clamp (Modern China) One of the medieval torture used in current Chinese prisons, is wearing a wooden yoke. Its put on a prisoner, why he can not normally neither walk nor stand. Clamp consists of a board of 50 to 80 cm in length from 30 to 50 cm in width and 10 - 15 cm in thickness. In the middle of the clamp made two holes for the legs. The victim, wearing a collar, hard to move, to creep into bed and usually has to sit or lie down, because the upright position can cause pain and lead to leg injuries. Without help, a man with a collar can not go to eat or go to the toilet. When a person gets out of bed, collar not only puts pressure on the legs and heels, causing pain, but the edge of his bed, and clings to a person does not return to it. At night, the prisoner is unable to turn around, and in the short winter blanket does not harbor his feet. Even the worst form of torture that is called "crawling with a wooden yoke." The guards wear a collar at the man and ordered him to crawl on concrete floor. If he stops, he is beaten on the back with a police truncheon. An hour later, fingers, toenails and knees bleed, at the time, as the back is covered with wounds from blows. 18. Impalement terrible savage punishment came from the East. The essence of this punishment was that the man laid on his stomach, one would sit on him to prevent him to move, the other was holding his neck. A man inserted into the anus of the count, which is then hammered with a mallet, and then hammer a stake in the ground. Weight of the body count forced to enter more deeply and finally he went under the arm or between the ribs. 19. Spanish water torture In order to best execute the procedure of this torture, the accused placed at one of the species reared at a special or a big table with a rising middle part. After the victim's hands and feet were tied to the edges of the table, the executioner proceeded to work in several ways. One of these methods was that the victim was forced through a funnel to swallow large amounts of water, then beaten on the inflated and arched belly. Another form provided space in the throat of the victim rag tubes through which water was poured slowly, leading to bloating and strangulation of the victim. If this were not enough, the tube pulled out, causing internal injuries, and then inserted again and the process repeated. Sometimes tortured with cold water. In this case the defendant was lying on the table for hours naked under a stream of icy water. It is interesting to note that this kind of torture was considered as mild, and confessions obtained this way, the court accepted as voluntary and data without the defendant being subjected to torture. Most often, these torture was used in order to dislodge the Spanish Inquisition recognition of heretics and witches. 20. Chinese water torture of Man seated in a cold room, tied him so that he could not move his head, and in total darkness on his forehead slowly dripping cold water. A few days later a man froze or went mad. 21. Spanish chair This instrument of torture was widely used butchers the Spanish Inquisition and was a chair made out of iron, to which the prisoner was seated, his legs confined in shoes fastened to the legs of the chair. When he found himself in a completely helpless and under his feet raised hearth, with hot coals, so that his feet began to slowly fry, and in order to prolong the suffering poor fellow, his legs from time to time poured oil. Often used another version of the Spanish chair , which is a metal throne, to which the victim was tied and bred under the seat in the fire, toasting your buttocks. Torture on such a chair has been subjected to a known poisoner La Voisin, during the famous Cases of poisoning in France. 22. GRIDIRON (gridiron fire) Torture in the St. Lawrence gridirone. This kind of torture is often mentioned in the Lives of the Saints - real and fictional, but there is no evidence that the gridiron, "live" to the Middle Ages and had at least a small circulation in Europe. Usually it is described as an ordinary metal grid 6 feet long and two and a half - width, mounted horizontally on legs, to be able to dissolve it under fire. Sometimes the gridiron was placed in a buck to be able to resort to a combination torture. On a similar lattice was martyred St. Lawrence. This torture very rarely resorted to. First, it was easy enough to kill the person questioned, and secondly, there was the mass of the simpler but no less brutal torture. 23. Pectoral pectoral in ancient times was called a woman's breast ornament in the form of steam carved gold and silver bowls, often sprinkled with precious stones. It is worn like a modern bra, and fastened the chains. By analogy with this mocking decoration was called monstrous instrument of torture applied by the Venetian Inquisition. In 1985, pectoral make red-hot and taking her with forceps, put on his chest and held up istyazuemoy until she was not aware. If the defendant persisted, the executioners to heat up again ostuzhennuyu living body of the pectoral and continued questioning. Very often, after this barbaric torture of a woman's breasts on the site were charred ragged hole. 24. Torture tickling this seeming innocuous effects were terrible torture. With prolonged tickle a person so increased nerve conduction, that even the lightest touch caused the first pull, laugh, and then passed into a terrible pain. If you like the torture continued for a long time, then after a while there were spasms of the respiratory muscles and, eventually, istyazuemy died of asphyxiation. In the most simple form of torture examined by tickling sensitive areas or bare hands, or hair brush, brushes. Popular hard feathers. Usually tickled under the arms, heels, nipples, inguinal folds, genitals, women and even under the breasts. In addition, torture often crush with animals lick any substance with a dainty heels questioned. It is often used a goat, because it is very hard language, adapted for eating grasses, causing severe irritation. There was also a kind of torture tickling with a beetle, the most common in India. When her little bug planted on the glans penis man or woman on the nipple and covered with half a nut shell. After a while tickling caused by movement of the legs of an insect living body became so unbearable that the person questioned confessed to anything 25. Crocodile These tubular metal tongs "Crocodile" make red-hot and used to tear the penis tortured. Initially, some caressing movements (often produced by women), or a tight ligation of persistent achieved a firm erection and then began torture 26. Scalloped razdavlivatel These jagged iron pincers slowly crushed testicles questioned. Something similar is widely used in the Stalin and Nazi prisons. 27. A sinister tradition. Actually, it is not torture, and African ritual, but in my opinion, this is very cruel. Girls from 3-6 years without anesthesia just scraping the external genitalia. So, she did not lose the ability to have children, but forever deprived of the opportunity to experience sexual desire and pleasure. This ritual is done "for the good" women, that they have never been tempted to change her husband 28. Blood eagle One of the most ancient of torture, during which the victim was tied face down and broke open the back, ribs break off at the spine and pushed the like wings. In the Scandinavian legend says that during the execution of such injury victims sprinkled with salt. Many historians argue that the torture used by pagans to Christians, others believe that the way punished wife found guilty of treason, while others argue that the bloody eagle - it's just a terrible story. 4) The torture continued for several hours or even days, until the victim dies of weakness and pain, or bleeding in the investigation of the rupture of soft tissue. 8.

In the hall give birth to a trained elephant that he crushed the martyr's head, 3. Sometimes in front of "controlling the head" animals crush victims arms and legs, so to amuse the audience. 9.

Anyone who survived after its hind legs, could no longer exercise their muscles and turned into a helpless vegetable. How it works 1.

On average, death occurs within 3-4 days. 11. Shiri (Camel Riding Hood) Monstrous fate awaited those who zhuanzhuany (alliance of nomadic Turkic people) take back into slavery. They destroyed the memory of the terrible slave torture - putting them on to the victim's head width. Usually this fate comprehended young men captured in battle. How it works 1. First slaves shaved head shaved, carefully scraping every hairs at the root. 2. Executor sacrificed a camel and osvezhovyvali its carcass, the first thing, otdelyalyaya its most severe, tight nuchal part. 3. Dividing the neck into pieces, it was immediately pulled in doubles as the head shaved on the prisoners. These pieces are like a band-aid stick the head of slaves. This is meant to put on the width. 4. After putting on the width of the neck doomed chained in a special wooden deck to the subject could not touch his head to the ground. In this form they were taken away from crowded places, so that no one heard their cries heart-rending, and threw it in the open field, with bound hands and feet, the sun, without water and without food. 5. The torture lasted for 5 days. 6. In the unit were still alive, and the rest died of starvation and not even thirsty, but on intolerable, inhumane suffering caused by drying, shrinking rawhide on the head of camel skin. Inexorably shrinking under the rays of the scorching sun, the width of clenched, squeezed like a shaved head slave iron hoop. Already on the second day began to germinate shaved hair of the martyrs. Hard and straight Asian hair sometimes growing into rawhide, in most cases, finding no way out, and folded her hair again, leaving the ends to the scalp, causing even greater suffering. Within a day the man was losing his mind. Only on the fifth day zhuanzhuany came to check whether anyone had survived from the prisoners. If caught alive at least one of the tortured, it was thought that the goal is reached. . 7.

A small addition: This torture described in the book of the Marquis de Sade's "Justine, or the success of vice" . This is a small excerpt from a large piece of text, where de Sade describes alleged torture of the world. But why is alleged? According to many critics, the Marquis was very fond of invent. He had an extraordinary imagination and a couple of obsessions, so this is torture, like some others, might be his imagination. But do not apply to this field Donasenu as the Baron Alphonse Myunhauzenu. This torture, in my opinion, if it did not exist before, it is quite realistic. Unless, of course, to pump up a person before painkillers (opiates, alcohol, etc.), that had he not died before his body touched by a grating. 14. Inflated with air through the anus terrible torture in which the man pumped the air through the anal canal. There is evidence that in Russia it has sinned, even Peter himself first.

In his anus insert the bottles, which are injected with a huge amount of air a person, as a result he became like a balloon. 3. After that he stuffed a piece of cotton anus. 4.

Although history has not preserved and the name of its inventor, said he was an expert konnozavodskogo case and to put down their horses came up with an unusual device. Only a few decades, fans have made fun of the people in this unit breeder the torture machine for people. The machine was a wooden frame like a ladder, cross the bar which had had a very acute angle, so that when people put on their backs, they cut into the body from head to toe. The staircase ended in a huge wooden spoon, which, like a cap, put his head. How it works 1. On both sides of the frame and a "cap" were drilled in each of them pass through the ropes. The first of them was dragging on the forehead tortured, the latter linked toes. As a rule, the ropes were thirteen, but especially for their number increased thrust. 2. Special adaptations of rope stretched more and more - to the victims felt that by crushing the muscles, they dug into the bone. 16. Dead Man's Bed (Modern China) Torture, "Dead Man's bed," the Chinese Communist Party applies mainly to those prisoners who are trying to protest the illegal detention with a hunger strike.

The arms and legs to strip naked prisoner tied to the corners of the bed where the mattress instead of a wooden board with cut-out hole. Under the hole is substituted for a bucket of excrement. Often a rope tied tightly to the bed and the human body so that he could not move at all. In this position the person is continuously for several days to weeks. 2. In some prisons, such as jail number 2, Shenyang City Prison and Jilin, the police under the back of the victim still enclose a hard object in order to enhance pain. 3. It happens also that the bed is placed vertically, and 3-4 days a man hanging, stretched over the limb. 4. To these tortures is added and force-feeding, which is performed using a tube inserted through the nose into the esophagus, which is poured a liquid diet. 5. Follow this procedure mainly prisoners on the orders of protection, rather than health professionals. They do it very rude and unprofessional, often causing serious damage to internal organs. 6. Gone through this torture say that it is a shift in the vertebrae, joints, arms and legs, as well as numbness and blackening of the extremities, which often leads to disability. 17. Clamp (Modern China) One of the medieval torture used in current Chinese prisons, is wearing a wooden yoke. Its put on a prisoner, why he can not normally neither walk nor stand. Clamp consists of a board of 50 to 80 cm in length from 30 to 50 cm in width and 10 - 15 cm in thickness. In the middle of the clamp made two holes for the legs. The victim, wearing a collar, hard to move, to creep into bed and usually has to sit or lie down, because the upright position can cause pain and lead to leg injuries. Without help, a man with a collar can not go to eat or go to the toilet. When a person gets out of bed, collar not only puts pressure on the legs and heels, causing pain, but the edge of his bed, and clings to a person does not return to it. At night, the prisoner is unable to turn around, and in the short winter blanket does not harbor his feet. Even the worst form of torture that is called "crawling with a wooden yoke." The guards wear a collar at the man and ordered him to crawl on concrete floor. If he stops, he is beaten on the back with a police truncheon. An hour later, fingers, toenails and knees bleed, at the time, as the back is covered with wounds from blows. 18. Impalement terrible savage punishment came from the East. The essence of this punishment was that the man laid on his stomach, one would sit on him to prevent him to move, the other was holding his neck. A man inserted into the anus of the count, which is then hammered with a mallet, and then hammer a stake in the ground. Weight of the body count forced to enter more deeply and finally he went under the arm or between the ribs. 19. Spanish water torture In order to best execute the procedure of this torture, the accused placed at one of the species reared at a special or a big table with a rising middle part. After the victim's hands and feet were tied to the edges of the table, the executioner proceeded to work in several ways. One of these methods was that the victim was forced through a funnel to swallow large amounts of water, then beaten on the inflated and arched belly. Another form provided space in the throat of the victim rag tubes through which water was poured slowly, leading to bloating and strangulation of the victim. If this were not enough, the tube pulled out, causing internal injuries, and then inserted again and the process repeated. Sometimes tortured with cold water. In this case the defendant was lying on the table for hours naked under a stream of icy water.
