What torture refers to the lever and the sling
The suspension is the most commonly used methods of torture, victims of arms, body weight (including torture may also put the weight of the wrist) pull out there will be pain, at the same time due to pleural retraction deformation, suspension long time can cause suffering breathing difficulties.Use the upside down way, will make the victims head congestion, long time down there may be a bloody situation (jiangzhujun inmates had been hanged for a long time and fainting).To increase traction pain, the use of hanging is often tied hanging victims two thumb or toe (upside down when used), other phalangeal joints due to withstand the weight of a body is completely broken because. The famous Vietnamese Female Valhalla Chen cloud was torturer stripped naked, tied with wire two big toe hung upside down and beaten.
This is a torture peculiar to china. The knee joint has the smallest range in the major joints of the limbs, and the length of both ends of the thigh and leg is favorable to the prisoners. The lever principle is used to compel the victims with lesser intensity. Key points of anti joint using tiger stool:1, the victims in the sitting position (arms tied or tied into the penalty, the pulling force cross) it will aggravate the leg ligament, and supine position due to hip joint ligament relaxation, legs relaxed, will weaken the degree of pain;2, the leg is tied in the lap of the thigh, rather than the following parts. Because the function of the tiger stool is to pull the joints and ligaments of the victim's leg and to cause a dislocated knee, not to break the victim's leg. Because the broken leg, the fibula needs a lot of power, the pain time is short (the victim will soon fainted), do not meet the punishment, both to torture the victims and their own labor saving requirements.According to records, when the victim is on a tiger stool, he usually gets sweaty when he pad three bricks. When the five bricks are completely dislocated, the person will faint. The torturer usually each brick will be suspended for a while, the victims of the pain continued for a period of time after aggravated torture efforts. Women's ligaments are usually softer than men, so they suffer longer on tiger stools and tend to faint when they are added to six bricks, the longest of which is eight bricks.
The sling hanging and torture half pig "(only one side of the body hanging victims), pawn (tied hanging arm and feet) and so on, all belong to the suspension of torture throughout human skin nerve endings, the feeling is very sensitive, in the daily life of people on the outside of the pain, is the nerve end suspension shoot at work. Some nerve endings, such as fingers, toes, sexual organs, etc., are more acute and abnormal. The distribution of the human nerve network also forms many subcutaneous sensitive areas, such as the two sides of the spine, the armpit, the medial thigh, the two rib, and so on. Therefore, the users of torture also torture people according to these physiological characteristics of the human body, and bring great suffering to the sufferers with more labor-saving means. The vast majority of the torture we know fall into this category, and the torture against women is basically the same.
