With the development of civilization, human life has acquired value regardless of social status and wealth. It is all the more terrible to read about the black pages of history, when the law did not just deprive a person of life, but turned the execution into a spectacle for the amusement of ordinary people. In other cases, the execution could be of a ritual or instructive nature. Unfortunately, also in modern history there are similar episodes. We have compiled a list of the most brutal executions ever practiced by humans.

Executions of the Ancient World

Skafism

The word "skafism" is derived from the ancient Greek word "trough", "boat", and the method itself went down in history thanks to Plutarch, who described the execution of the Greek ruler Mithridates at the behest of Artaxerxes, the king of the ancient Persians.

First, a person was stripped naked and tied inside two dugout boats in such a way that the head, arms and legs remained outside, which were thickly smeared with honey. The victim was then forcibly fed a mixture of milk and honey to induce diarrhea. After that, the boat was lowered to standing water- pond or lake Lured by the smell of honey and sewage, the insects clung to the human body, slowly devoured the flesh and laid their larvae in the formed gangrenous ulcers. The victim remained alive for up to two weeks. Death came from three factors: infection, exhaustion and dehydration.

Execution by impalement was invented in Assyria (modern Iraq). In this way, residents of rebellious cities and women who had an abortion were punished - then this procedure was considered infanticide.

The execution was carried out in two ways. In one version, the convict was pierced in the chest with a stake, in another, the tip of the stake passed through the body through the anus. Tormented people were often depicted in bas-reliefs as an edification. Later, this execution began to be used by the peoples of the Middle East and the Mediterranean, as well as Slavic peoples and some European ones.

Execution by elephants

This method was used mainly in India and Sri Lanka. Indian elephants lend themselves well to training, which was used by the rulers of Southeast Asia.

There were many ways to kill a person with an elephant. For example, armor with sharp spears was put on the tusks, with which the elephant pierced the criminal and then, still alive, tore it apart. But most often, elephants were trained to press down the convict with their foot and alternately tear off the limbs with their trunk. In India, a guilty person was often simply thrown at the feet of an angry animal. For reference, an Indian elephant weighs about 5 tons.

Tradition to the beasts

Behind the beautiful phrase "Damnatio ad bestias" lies painful death thousands of ancient Romans, especially among the early Christians. Although, of course, this method was invented long before the Romans. Usually lions were used for execution, less popular were bears, panthers, leopards and buffaloes.

There were two types of punishment. Often a person sentenced to death was tied to a post in the middle of a gladiatorial arena and wild animals were lowered onto it. There were also variations: they threw it to a cage to a hungry animal or tied it to its back. In another case, the unfortunate was forced to fight against the beast. From the weapons they had a simple spear, and from the "armor" - a tunic. In both cases, many spectators gathered for the execution.

death on the cross

The crucifixion was invented by the Phoenicians - ancient people navigators who lived in the Mediterranean. Later, this method was adopted by the Carthaginians, and then by the Romans. The Israelites and Romans considered death on the cross to be the most shameful, because inveterate criminals, slaves and traitors were executed in this way.

Before crucifixion, a person was undressed, leaving only a loincloth. He was beaten with leather whips or freshly cut rods, after which he was forced to carry a cross weighing about 50 kilograms to the place of crucifixion. Having dug a cross into the ground near the road outside the city or on a hill, a person was lifted with ropes and nailed to a horizontal bar. Sometimes the convict's legs were crushed with an iron rod beforehand. Death came from exhaustion, dehydration or pain shock.

After the ban on Christianity in feudal japan 17th century crucifixion was used against visiting missionaries and Japanese Christians. The scene of execution on the cross is present in Martin Scorsese's drama Silence, which tells about this period.

Bamboo execution

The ancient Chinese were champions of sophisticated torture and execution. One of the most exotic methods of killing is stretching the culprit over the growing shoots of young bamboo. Through human body sprouts made their way for several days, causing incredible suffering to the executed.

ling chi

"Ling-chi" is translated into Russian as "bites of the sea pike." There was another name - "death by a thousand cuts." This method was used during the reign of the Qing Dynasty, and high-ranking officials convicted of corruption were executed in this way. Every year, 15-20 people were recruited.

The essence of "ling-chi" is the gradual cutting off of small parts from the body. For example, after cutting off one phalanx of the finger, the executioner cauterized the wound and then proceeded to the next one. How many pieces to cut off from the body, the court determined. The most popular verdict was cutting into 24 parts, and the most notorious criminals were sentenced to 3,000 cuts. In such cases, the victim was given opium to drink: so she did not lose consciousness, but the pain made its way even through the veil of drug intoxication.

Sometimes, as a sign of special mercy, the ruler could order the executioner to first kill the condemned with one blow and torture the corpse already. This method execution was practiced for 900 years and was banned in 1905.

Executions of the Middle Ages

blood eagle

Historians question the existence of the Blood Eagle execution, but it is mentioned in Scandinavian folklore. This method was used by the inhabitants of the Scandinavian countries in the early Middle Ages.

The harsh Vikings killed their enemies as painfully and symbolically as possible. The man's hands were tied and laid on his stomach on a stump. The skin on the back was carefully cut with a sharp blade, then the ribs were pryed with an ax, breaking them out in a shape resembling eagle wings. After that, the lungs were removed from the still living victim and hung on the ribs.

This execution is shown twice in the Vikings series with Travis Fimmel (in episode 7 of season 2 and episode 18 of season 4), although the audience noted the contradictions between the serial execution and the one described in the Elder Edda folklore.

"Bloody Eagle" in the series "Vikings"

Tearing by trees

Such an execution was widespread in many regions of the world, including in Russia in the pre-Christian period. The victim was tied by the legs to two inclined trees, which were then abruptly released. One of the legends says that Prince Igor was killed by the Drevlyans in 945 - because he wanted to collect tribute from them twice.

Quartering

The method was used as medieval Europe. Each limb was tied to horses - the animals tore the sentenced into 4 parts. In Russia, quartering was also practiced, but this word meant a completely different execution - the executioner alternately chopped off his legs with an ax, then his hands, and then his head.

wheeling

Wheeling as a species death penalty was widely used in France and Germany during the Middle Ages. In Russia, this type of execution is known in more late time- from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The essence of the punishment was that at first the guilty person was tied to the wheel with his face to the sky, fixing his arms and legs on the knitting needles. After that, his limbs were broken and in this form they were left to die in the sun.

Flaying

Flaying, or skinning, was invented in Assyria, then passed to Persia and spread throughout to the ancient world. In the Middle Ages, the Inquisition improved this type of execution - with the help of a device called the "Spanish tickler", a person's skin was torn into small pieces, which were not difficult to tear off.

Welded alive

This execution was also invented in antiquity and received a second wind in the Middle Ages. So they executed mostly counterfeiters. A person convicted of counterfeiting money was thrown into a cauldron of boiling water, tar or oil. This variety was quite humane - the offender quickly died from pain shock. More sophisticated executioners put the condemned man in a cauldron with cold water, which was heated gradually, or slowly lowered into boiling water, starting with the feet. The welded muscles of the legs were moving away from the bones, and the man was still alive.
This execution is also practiced by the extremists of the East. According to Saddam Hussein's former bodyguard, he witnessed an acid execution: first, the victim's legs were lowered into a pool filled with caustic substance, and then they were thrown entirely. And in 2016, ISIS militants dissolved 25 people in a cauldron of acid.

cement boots

This method is well known to many of our gangster movie readers. Indeed, they killed their enemies and traitors with such a cruel method during the mafia wars in Chicago. The victim was tied to a chair, then a basin filled with liquid cement was placed under his feet. And when it froze, the person was taken to the nearest reservoir and thrown off the boat. Cement boots instantly dragged him to the bottom to feed the fish.

Flights of death

In 1976, General Jorge Videla came to power in Argentina. He led the country for only 5 years, but remained in history as one of the most terrible dictators of our time. Among other atrocities of Videla are the so-called "death flights".

A person who opposed the tyrant's regime was drugged with barbiturates and unconsciously carried on board the aircraft, then thrown down - certainly into the water.

Introduction

( Minghui . org ) Until March 1, 2013, there were 3,649 confirmed deaths of Falun Gong practitioners due to persecution and torture in China. Because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) uses vast resources to cover up its crimes, the confirmed death toll is only a small fraction of the actual death toll, which is definitely much higher.

Of all practitioners' confirmed deaths, 53% are women.

In fact, tens of thousands of female practitioners are subjected to incredible abuse, including rape, forced abortions, imprisonment, physical torture, administration of unknown drugs, and even organ harvesting while they are still alive. And in addition to that, countless families have been broken up.

This article provides a detailed account of numerous cases various kinds sexual abuse and torture of women who practice Falun Gong

We hope that readers will be able to understand the gravity of the situation and will do everything in their power to help stop these crimes.

Practicing Falun Gong is not a crime. Freedom of belief is a right guaranteed by the Chinese Constitution, but the Chinese Communist Party has been ruthlessly persecuting Falun Gong for nearly fourteen years. Who will you support in your heart? A peaceful spiritual practice that brings great benefits to millions of people around the world, or a cruel and corrupt regime that persecutes it?

Part A - Women who died as a result of torture

Torture interrogation is a common method used by CCP agents in an attempt to force practitioners to succumb to pressure. More than 40 methods of torture are known to be used by agents of the regime, and a significant proportion of the victims are women and the elderly. This incredible cruelty resulted in the death or disability of many innocent people.

The CCP Uses Over 40 Torture Methods to Harass Falun Gong Practitioners

Wang Yuhuan: Several layers of clothing were soaked with blood as she died from wounds caused by torture

Wang Yuhuan, from Changchun City, Jilin Province, was arrested more than ten times and sent to forced labor camps nine times before she died.

After Gao Peng and Zhang Heng arrested Wang on March 11, 2002, they tied her up and stuffed her into the trunk of a car before taking her to the torture chamber the following evening. They tied her feet to the "tiger bench" ( torture method) and forced to sit upright with their hands tied behind their backs. Then, every five minutes, they subjected her to a torture called "big shake and press."

"Shake and press" - torture, during which the tormentors shake the victim's hands tied behind his back and pull in different directions, from which the bones of the victim come out of the joints, and this causes an extremely severe pain.

They also lowered Wang's head as close to her legs as possible until she began to feel like her neck was about to break. At the same time, they pulled hard on her ankles, causing her unbearable pain. As a result of this torture, she trembled and lost consciousness many times.

Very quickly, Wang's hair and clothes were soaked with sweat, tears, and blood. Every time she lost consciousness, the torturers poured cold or boiling water over her to wake her up. The boiling water burned her already damaged skin.

Wang Yuhuan

After more than four hours being tortured on the "tiger bench" and being burned with cigarettes, Wang fainted again because she couldn't stand cigarette smoke. The torturers poured cold water on her to wake her up and burned her eyes with cigarettes. Her two front teeth were knocked out and her face was swollen and black-blue. She also lost hearing in both ears.

Wang was tied to the tiger bench three times in her 17 days of detention, and each round of torture was more brutal than the last. At one point, the police dressed Wang in a thick sweater and tight pants to prevent others from seeing her bloodied body, but her clothes were soaked with her blood. They put another layer of clothing on her, but soon she was also soaked in blood.

Although Wang's body was completely exhausted and she was on the verge of life and death after the incessant torture, the police sent her to the prison hospital for further persecution.

As soon as she arrived there, she was tied to a bed and injected with an unknown drug. After that, her legs became numb and her feet became cold. She was also subjected to sexual abuse.

After her release, Wang described how she and other female practitioners were stripped naked and tied to wooden planks for 26 days. All this time, the policemen, doctors and male prisoners constantly mocked them.

On May 9, 2007, Wang was arrested again and interrogated by agents from the Domestic Security Division that same night. When she was released, her whole body was covered with wounds, and internal organs were badly damaged. She had difficulty swallowing and could not walk on her own. On September 24, 2007, she died at the age of 52.

Yu Xiuling was killed by being thrown from the fourth floor while she was still breathing

Yu Xiuling

Practitioner Yu Xiuling, 32, is from Chaoyang District, Liaoning Province. On September 14, 2011, she was arrested at home and taken to the Shijiazi Detention Center. A few days later, at 8:00 am on September 19, she was transferred to the Longcheng Police Station for interrogation.

After 13 hours of torture, Yu was barely breathing. To cover up their crimes, the police threw her off the fourth floor and cremated her body around midnight that same day.

Wu Jingxia was beaten to death on the third day of detention

Wu Jingxia with his son

Wu Jingxia, a practitioner from Weifang, Shandong Province, has been arrested, imprisoned, beaten and extorted numerous times. On January 17, 2002, she was arrested while distributing truth clarification materials.

The police took her to the Changyueyuan Police Station and handcuffed her to a radiator. The next day, she was transferred to the Kuiwen District Brainwashing Center, where she died on the third day of detention. She was only 29 years old.

When her family saw her body, it was covered in wounds. Wu's face was covered with a towel, but it was clear that blood had flowed from her mouth.

Wu's back was black and blue, and there was a long, red cut on his neck. When the relatives changed her clothes, they saw that the bone of her thigh was broken and the bone came out of the flesh.

W was a breastfeeding mother and was not allowed to express milk for three days while she was in detention, causing her breasts to swell. Seeing that her chest was swollen and it was already causing her pain, the police brutally shocked her with electric batons in the chest area.

After Wu's death, her family's phone was tapped and her family's freedom was restricted.

Shi Yongqing was sold by party officials and later raped and tortured to death

Shi Yongqing

Shi Yongqing, a peasant woman from Qizhou Town, Anguo City, Hebei Province, has been imprisoned many times for going to Beijing and appealing for Falun Gong. She became mentally deranged due to the torture she was subjected to in the Baoding Forced Labor Camp.

In order to avoid responsibility, Qizhou Township Party Secretary Cao sold Ms. Shi to Ding Village, Ding District, where she was abused and raped.

Shi later sued Cao for human trafficking, but she was sent to a forced labor camp. After being released from the camp, she was directly sent to the Zhuozhou Brainwashing Center, where she died as a result of torture on January 27, 2005, at the age of 35.

The local police station did not allow her relatives to perform an autopsy, they were given 1,000 yuan to buy their silence. Her family were forced to bury her soon after. Her child was forced to drop out of school as there was no one else to take care of him. Her husband had a stroke as a result of stress and lost sight in one eye.

Part B - Women who have been gang-raped

In addition to physical torture, the CCP constantly and systematically uses rape as a way to humiliate and inflict psychological harm on female practitioners.

Illustration of torture method: Sexual abuse of female practitioners

Rape is a common abuse of female Falun Gong practitioners

At the notoriously brutal Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, camp staff threw 18 female practitioners into the men's cells and incited the inmates to rape the women, resulting in death, disability, and mental instability for the victims.

Jiang, an unmarried woman, became mentally deranged after being gang raped and gave birth to a child after being released. Now the child is over 10 years old.

In May 2001, Wanjia Forced Labor Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province placed more than 50 female practitioners in male cells and incited the male inmates to sexually abuse and rape them.

AT next month Ms. Tan Guanghui, from Bin County, Heilongjiang Province, was taken to the men's cell, where three men raped her. Later, a guard raped her again at Wanjia Hospital. She was also forced to take unknown drugs, which caused her to become mentally deranged.

In the Liaoning Province Women's Prison, female practitioners, including Huang Xin, were stripped of their clothes and thrown into the men's cells, and incited male prisoners to be executed to rape them.

The Guangdong Provincial Forced Labor Camp threatened female practitioners that they would be raped by male inmates if they did not renounce their belief in Falun Gong.

In October 1999, the Fuyu County Detention Center in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province, stripped a practitioner naked and placed her in a male cell, where she was gang-raped by male inmates.

In July 2001, agents from Xingtai Police Station and Qiaodong Police Station in Hebei Province handcuffed the hands and feet of female practitioners and raped them in a police car while being taken to a detention center. One of the policemen boasted that he had raped three Falun Gong practitioners.

Government officials protect persecutors who abuse and rape female practitioners as well

The CCP not only encourages the persecutors to sexually abuse female practitioners, but also negotiates and protects the persecutors. These persecutors are police officers, 610 Office agents, and people who are incited by the police.

On the evening of May 13, 2003, a student last year named Wei Xinyan from Chongqing was raped at the Baihelin Detention Center in Shapingba in front of two women inmates. After that, at least ten practitioners were sentenced to 5 to 14 years in prison for exposing this "state secret" about this police rape. Ten years later, Wei's whereabouts remain unknown.

On March 17, 2000, two practitioners from Xinjin District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, one of whom was a college student, were gang-raped at the Wuhou District Government Office in Chengdu City, Beijing. Wang Tao and two other police officers were involved in the rape.

In February 2001, Zou Jin, 70, from Changsha City, Hunan Province, was raped at the First Detention Center in Changsha City by a group of police officers from the Jingwanzi Precinct run by Lei Zhen. She was later sentenced to nine years in prison and is currently dead.

In 2002, Hu Qun, head of the Zhengding District 610 Office, Hebei Province, along with two other agents, raped three unmarried female practitioners, one of whom was named Yu, at the Guohao Hotel.

Gao Fei, head of the Zhuozhou City 610 Office and director of the Nanma Brainwashing Center in Hebei Province, raped several female inmates at the brainwashing center. He also tried to stop the victims from exposing his actions.

In April 2004, Chen Danxia from Xianyu District, Fujian Province, was beaten and raped by perpetrators who were instigated by the police. She became pregnant and had to have an abortion. Because of this injury, she became mentally unstable. Her mother, who also practiced Falun Gong, died as a result of the persecution, and her younger sister, also a practitioner, was imprisoned for six years.

During her detention at the Changzhi Psychiatric Hospital in Shanxi Province, 19-year-old Xiao Yi three nights 14 times was subjected to gang rape. Her chest and lower body were covered in scars from cigarette burns. After being severely tortured, she was unable to move.

In the summer of 2002, a 9-year-old girl (an orphan daughter of a practitioner) was raped by three men at the Changping Psychiatric Hospital in Beijing. Her screams and cries were heartbreaking.

Part B - Other sexual abuse of female practitioners

The cases of sexual abuse of female practitioners that have taken place all over China are too many to count. Below are just a few examples.

Female Practitioners Are Constantly Shocked With Electric Batons In The Breasts And Private Parts

Dalian Forced Labor Camp: Inhuman Species sexual abuse over female practitioners

In order to force several hundred imprisoned female practitioners to renounce their belief in Falun Gong, officers from the Dalian Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province inflicted extremely inhuman sexual abuse on them, causing irreparable physical and mental harm to the victims.

Chang Xuexia was stripped naked and severely beaten. The persecuting group, following guard Wan Yalin's instructions, pinched Chang's nipples and genital hair, and inserted toothbrush into the genitals. Seeing that there was no bleeding, they took out a larger brush and inserted it into the genitals.

Wang Lijun was tortured three times with a thick rope they rubbed against her genitals. The persecutors also used a broken wooden stick, which was inserted with a sharp end into her vagina, which caused bleeding in the genital area, and they also became very swollen. She couldn't put on trousers, and she couldn't sit. It was very difficult for her to urinate.

Torture demonstration: Shoe brush inserted into genitals

Fu Shuying was tied to a bed with his different sides hands and feet and kept her in this position for more than an hour. During this time, the pursuers inserted a stick into the genitals, from which they became inflamed and infected. They also used a toothbrush, causing her to bleed profusely. Then they poured a hot pepper solution into the vagina.

Zhong Shujuan was tortured by inserting a toilet brush into her genitals, causing him to bleed.

Sun Yan was stabbed in her genitals, which caused profuse bleeding. She was then forced to stand at attention, and her blood spilled onto the floor. After this torture, she could not walk normally.

Qu Xumei was hung up for five consecutive days. The pursuers poured into her genitals water solution with hot pepper and rubbed with a rag, as a result of which it is more three months couldn't lie down to sleep.

Man Chunrong poured hot sauce into her genitals.

These shocking methods of torture are beyond the imagination of any normal person, and even the behavior of the most brutal thugs from the street cannot be compared to this. However, the guards involved shamelessly stated that they were only following orders from superiors in "transforming" practitioners.

- Bullying at the notoriously brutal Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

The guards at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province not only put female practitioners in the men's cells to be raped, but also forced them to strip in front of the cameras to further humiliate them. The guards also forced the women to stand naked outside in the snow to freeze them. The persecutors even inserted electric batons into the women's genitals and shocked them.

In early 2003, Guo Teying and several other guards shocked Wang Yunjie's chest with two electric batons at the same time for several hours without stopping. As a result, Wang's breast tissues were completely torn apart.

The next day, the guards crossed Wang's legs and tied her head with a rope to her legs so tightly that she looked like a ball. They then handcuffed her hands behind her back and hung her by the handcuffs for seven consecutive hours. After that, she could not sit, stand, or walk.

In November 2003, the guards found out that Wang only had a few weeks left to live, so they told her relatives to come and pick her up. After being released, her breasts continued to fester more and more. She died in July 2006.

Wang Yunjie's chest rots due to electric shocks

Xin Suhua from Benxi was kicked on her private parts many times, causing her to fall into a coma.

- A young girl was inserted into the genitals of a handle from a mop

On June 26, 2010, Hu Miaomiao from Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province was detained in the First Division of the Hebei Province Women's Forced Labor Camp. Guard Wang Weiwei and the inmates forced her to stand for long periods of time and beat her severely.

Chen immediately bled from her mouth and nose and lost consciousness. Her breasts swelled up and then turned black and blue.

The Chaoyang Second Detention Center in Beijing used the same torture on some female practitioners, whose names are unknown. The persecutors placed a wooden board on the stomach of the victims, and four people jumped or stepped on it with force. As a result, the internal organs of the victims were severely damaged, and blood and urine came out of their bodies.

Another practitioner was stripped naked and tied to a cross. She was forced to defecate in a tied position.

Picture: Several people stand on a woman's stomach

At the Shibalihe Women's Forced Labor Camp in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, one practitioner refused to scold Master Li Hongzhi. For this, she was stripped naked and hung from a metal window frame.

Mu Chunyang and another policeman named Pan from Zhuguo Township, Pingdu City, Shandong Province, stripped female practitioners naked and used a poker as a hook, inserting it into the victims' genitals while striking their chests. They also burned their faces with red-hot pokers.

A 29-year-old college teacher from Xinjiang Autonomous Region had her hands cuffed behind her back, and then wires were attached to her breast nipples and an electric current was passed through them.

Part D - Women are given drugs that destroy the central nervous system

In addition to arrests, brutal torture, and sexual abuse, CCP agents also poison stubborn practitioners, causing them unbearable pain, mental illness, and disability.

- Guo Ming died in pain and loneliness after more than a decade of suffering in mental hospitals

Before her arrest, Guo Min worked at the Sima Township Tax Bureau Branch in Laishui County, Hubei Province. Because of her refusal to give up her belief in Falun Gong, she was admitted to the Kangtai Psychiatric Hospital in Huangguan City in 2000 and transferred to the Red Cross Psychiatric Hospital two years later.

More than eight years of detention in the second hospital caused great harm to her physical and psychological health.

Due to harmful drugs and psychological torture, her menstrual period stopped for six years, and her belly swelled to the size of a nine-month pregnancy. In July 2010, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer.

The members of Guo's family, deceived by the CCP's lies, were afraid of being persecuted and therefore feared to demand her release for many years. Guo died on August 4, 2011, at the age of 38, with no one around her.

AT last days During her life in the hospital, Guo was incontinent and no one took care of her.

In the Banqian Women's Forced Labor Camp in Tianjin, female practitioners are poisoned with drugs

Song Huilan's right foot began to rot and then fell off after being injected with poisonous drugs.

Ms. Song Huilan from Xinhua Farm, Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province, has been persecuted numerous times. In December 2010, she was arrested by officers from the Hengtoushan Police Station, Huachuan District, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province.

After that, Sun lost sensation in her legs below the knees. Her body and tongue became numb and she could not walk. Song suffered from incontinence and grew weaker and weaker. Her consciousness was retarded.

In the first hours after midnight on February 28, she felt severe pain in the region of her heart and could not bear it. When the detention center doctor saw her the next day, he said that her right leg had been completely destroyed. At that time, there were large purple blisters on her right leg.

After she was released, Sun could not walk or bend her arms or legs. She lost sensation in her body. Her right foot and all her toes were black, and blood was oozing from her foot. Even touching the foot caused severe pain.

Song's right leg was deteriorating day by day. Even with a slight movement, liquid with blood began to come out of the right foot.

Her daughter and older sister took care of Sun day and night. In addition to severe pain in her right leg, she also experienced severe pain in her heart. Every second she experienced unbearable pain. On May 25, 2011, her right foot fell off her leg.

The history of mankind knows many examples of cruelty, separate page occupy medieval torture. Looking through the materials on this topic, every now and then you wonder how it was possible to come up with such a thing and what a sick fantasy you had to have. Compared to torture in Middle Ages, any modern homicidal maniac nervously smokes on the sidelines. And now we will try to convince you of this.

rat torture

Initially, this torture was widely used in Ancient China . But the idea of ​​torturing people with rats also came to the mind of the leader of the Dutch Revolution. Dedric Sonoia.

What's happened:

The victim was stripped naked and tied to a flat surface.

A cage with hungry rats was placed on his stomach, tightly fixed.

Then burning coals were poured onto the top of the cage.

Frightened rats try to escape by chewing their way to freedom through the victim's body.

(There was another ending: hungry rats were simply left on the human body until they began to satisfy their hunger by eating living flesh, thereby bringing long and terrible torment).

"Pear"

A special device, consisting of pointed and curved metal plates, was used in the Middle Ages in Europe to punish blasphemers, deceivers, women who gave birth out of wedlock, and unconventional men. sexual orientation. Although at first glance, "Pear" is not at all associated with horror, but this impression is erroneous ...

What's happened

The victim was completely undressed, the “pear” was inserted into the mouth, vagina or anus.

The tormentor slowly turns the screw - the metal plates open, thereby gradually tearing the human flesh. Then he dies from internal injuries.

Cradle of Judas

This medieval torture was also called "Vigil" or "Protection of the cradle"

This is one of the most beloved torments of the Spanish Inquisition, but was also used in other countries.

What's happened:

The accused was seated on a pointed wooden or metal pyramid in such a way that the top pierces the vagina or anus.

With the help of ropes or stones suspended from the feet, the sinkers “lowered” the victim down.

The torture continued until the person died (from several hours to several days).

Spanish donkey ("Armchair of the Jews")

This torture is very similar to the previous one, with the only difference that the victim was seated not on a pyramid, but on a wedge-shaped device that rested on the person's crotch. Often an additional weight was gradually suspended from the legs.

bamboo torture

It is believed that this torture was often used in China. There is even evidence that it was used in Japan during World War II.

What's happened.

Bamboo sprouts were sharpened, thus forming a kind of “stakes” (It should be mentioned here that this plant can grow about one meter high in just one day).

A person was hung over them, through which bamboo shoots sprouted, thereby causing unbearable prolonged pain.

wheeling

this medieval torture known since the time ancient rome, long time it was used by executioners from Germany, France, Russia and other countries.

What's happened:

At first, all the large bones of the body were broken with the help of a hammer or a special wheel.

After that, he was tied to a large wheel, which was placed on a pole and left to die. Often the suffering lasted for several days.

Gridiron

This is a special grill for torture by fire. A kind of brazier, which is described as a regular grill on legs.

What's happened:

The victim was tied to a gridiron.

Burning coals were placed under it. The victim was "roasted" alive.

insect torture

There are different variations of the types of torture and executions with the help of insects. One of the most terrible and cruel was the next ...

What's happened:

The victim was put on special wooden barrel so that only the head remains outside.

His face was smeared with honey, which attracted various insects.

To all this, he was intensively fed, because of this, after a while the victim “swam in his feces. What even more attracted insects that laid larvae in the body of the victim.

A few days later, larvae appeared from the bites and began to eat the flesh of a still living person ...

2. Hand saw
There is nothing to say about her, except that she caused death even worse than death at the stake.
The gun was operated by two men who were sawing the condemned man suspended upside down with his legs tied to two supports. The position itself, which causes blood flow to the brain, forced the victim to experience unheard of torment for a long time. This tool was used as a punishment for various
crimes, but it was especially used against homosexuals and witches. It seems to us that this remedy was widely used by French judges in relation to witches who became pregnant from the "devil of nightmares" or even from Satan himself.

3. Throne
This instrument was created as a chair-shaped pillory, and sarcastically named the Throne. The victim was placed upside down, and her legs were strengthened with wooden blocks. Such torture was popular among judges who wanted to follow the letter of the law. In fact, the law governing the use of torture only allowed the Throne to be used once during an interrogation. But most of the judges circumvented this rule by simply calling the next session a continuation of the same first one. The use of the Throne allowed it to be declared as one session, even if it lasted 10 days. Since the use of the Throne did not leave permanent marks on the body of the victim, it was very suitable for long-term use. It should be noted that simultaneously with this torture, the prisoners were also “used” with water and a red-hot iron.

4. Janitor's daughter or Stork
The use of the term "stork" is attributed to the Roman Court of the Most Holy Inquisition in the period from the second half of the XVI in. until around 1650. Same name for this
the instrument of torture was given to L.A. Muratori in his Italian Chronicles (1749). The origin of the even stranger name "Janitor's Daughter" is unknown, but it is given
by analogy with the name of an identical device in the Tower of London. Whatever the origin of the name, this weapon is a great example of the vast variety of enforcement systems that were used during the Inquisition. The position of the victim was carefully considered. Within a few minutes, this position of the body led to severe muscle spasm in the abdomen and anus. Further, the spasm began to spread to the chest, neck, arms and legs, becoming
more and more painful, especially at the site of the initial spasm. After some time, tied to the Stork, he passed from a simple
experiences of torment to a state of complete insanity. Often, while the victim was tormented in this terrible position, he was additionally tortured with a red-hot iron and
in other ways. The iron fetters cut into the victim's flesh and caused gangrene and sometimes death.

5. Witch Chair
The chair of the Inquisition, known as the witch's chair, was highly prized as good remedy against silent women accused of witchcraft.
This common instrument was especially widely used by the Austrian Inquisition. The chairs were of various sizes and shapes, all fitted with
with spikes, with handcuffs, blocks for fixing the victim and, most often, with iron seats, which, if necessary, could be heated. We have found evidence of the use of this weapon for slow killing. In 1693, in the Austrian city of Gutenberg, Judge Wolf von Lampertisch led a trial on charges of witchcraft, Maria Vukinets, 57 years old. She was put on a witch's chair for eleven days and nights, while the executioners burned her legs with a red-hot iron.
(insletrlaster). Maria Vukinets died under torture, having gone mad with pain, but without confessing to the crime.

6. Common stake
The application technology is clear and without comment.

7. Rack-suspension
This is by far the most common cap, and was often used in court proceedings in the beginning as it was considered an easy form of torture. Hands of the accused.
tied behind their backs, and the other end of the rope was thrown over the winch ring. The victim was either left in this position, or the rope was pulled strongly and continuously.
Often, an additional weight was tied to the notes of the victim, and the body was torn with tongs, such as, for example, "witch spider" to make the torture less gentle. The judges thought that the witches knew many ways of sorcery that allowed them to endure torture calmly, so it was not always possible to obtain a confession. We can refer to a series of trials in Munich in early XVII century for eleven people. Six of them were constantly tortured with an iron boot, one of the women was dismembered in the chest, the next five were wheeled, and one was impaled. They, in turn, denounced twenty-one more people, who were immediately interrogated in Tetenwang. Among the new accused was one very respected family. The father died in prison, the mother, after being put on the rack eleven times, confessed to everything she was accused of. The daughter, Agnes, twenty-one years old, stoically endured the ordeal on the rack with extra weight, but did not admit her guilt, and only said that she forgives her executioners and accusers. Only after a few days of incessant
tests in the torture chamber, she was told of her mother's full confession. After attempting suicide, she confessed to all heinous crimes, including cohabiting with the Devil since the age of eight, devouring the hearts of thirty people, participating in covens, calling ouryu and denying the Lord. Mother and daughter were sentenced to be burned at the stake.

8. Vigil or Guarding the Cradle.
According to the inventor, Ippolito Marsili, the introduction of the Vigil was turning point in the history of torture. The current confession system does not involve inflicting bodily harm. There are no broken vertebrae, twisted ankles, or crushed joints; the only substance that suffers is the victim's nerves. The idea behind the torture was to keep the victim awake for as long as possible, a kind of insomnia torture. "Vigil", which was not originally considered as brutal torture, accepted various forms during the Inquisition, as, for example, in the figure. The victim was raised to the top of the pyramid and then gradually lowered. The top of the pyramid was supposed to penetrate into the anus, testicles or calf, and if a woman was tortured, then the vagina. The pain was so severe that the defendant often lost consciousness. If this happened, the procedure was delayed until the victim awoke. In Germany, "torture by vigil" was called "guarding the cradle."

9. Brazier.
In the past, there was no Amnesty International association, no one intervened in the affairs of justice and did not protect those who fell into its clutches. The executioners were free to choose any, from their point of view, suitable means for obtaining confessions. Often they also used a brazier.
The victim was tied to the bars and then "roasted" until they received sincere repentance and confession, which led to the discovery of new criminals. And life went on.

10. Water torture.
In order to the best way to perform the procedure of this torture, the accused was placed on one of the varieties of the rack or on a special large table
rising middle part. After the victim's hands and feet were tied to the edges of the table, the executioner went to work in one of several ways. One of these
methods consisted in the fact that the victim was forced to swallow with the help of a funnel a large number of water, then beat on the inflated and arched stomach. Another form
It involved placing a rag tube down the victim's throat, through which water was slowly poured in, which led to swelling and suffocation of the victim. If that wasn't enough, the tube was pulled out, causing internal damage, and then reinserted, and the process repeated. Sometimes cold water torture was used. In this case, the defendant lay naked on the table for hours under a stream of water. ice water. It is interesting to note that this kind of torture was regarded as light, and confessions obtained in this way were accepted by the court as voluntary and given to the defendants without the use of torture.

11. Nuremberg Maiden.
The idea to mechanize torture was born in Germany and nothing can be done about the fact that the Nuremberg maiden has such an origin. She got her name from her appearance
resemblance to a Bavarian girl, and also because her prototype was created and first used in the dungeon of a secret court in Nuremberg. The accused was placed in a sarcophagus, where the body of the unfortunate person was pierced with sharp spikes, located so that none of the vital organs was hurt, and the agony lasted quite a long time. The first case of trial using the "Virgin" is dated 1515. It was described in detail by Gustav Freitag in his book "bilder aus der deutschen vergangenheit". The punishment befell the perpetrator of the forgery, who suffered for three days inside the sarcophagus.

12. Wheeling.
A very popular system, both torture and execution, was used only when accused of witchcraft. Usually the procedure was divided into two phases, both of which are quite painful. The first consisted in breaking most of the bones and joints with the help of a small wheel, called the crushing wheel, and equipped on the outside with many spikes. The second was designed in case of execution. It was assumed that the victim, broken and crippled in this way, literally, like a rope, would slip between the spokes of the wheel onto a long pole, where he would remain to await death. A popular version of this execution combined wheeling and burning at the stake - in this case, death came quickly. The procedure was described in the materials of one of the trials in Tyrol. In 1614, a vagabond named Wolfgang Selweiser of Gastein, found guilty of dealing with the devil and causing a storm, was sentenced by the Leinz court to be both wheeled and burned at the stake.

13. Press for limbs.

14. Press for the skull.
This medieval device, it should be noted, was highly valued, especially in northern Germany. Its function was quite simple: the victim's chin was placed on a wooden or iron support, and the lid of the device was screwed onto the victim's head.
First, the teeth and jaws were crushed, then, as the pressure increased, the brain tissue began to flow out of the skull. Over time, this tool has lost its significance as a murder weapon and has become widespread as an instrument of torture.
In some countries Latin America A very similar device is still in use today. Despite the fact that both the lid of the device and the bottom support are lined with a soft material that does not leave any marks on the victim, the device brings the prisoner into a state of "cooperation" after only a few turns of the screw.

15. Impaling.
Impaling, one of the most brutal and barbaric methods of execution, is probably of Assyro-Babylonian origin. Widespread in the Middle East,
execution was used during wars ottoman empire with infidels” in relation to those convicted for illegal possession of weapons. The condemned were stripped naked, and then
planted on thin pointed stakes. Displayed at the walls of the fortress, the executed died painfully, sometimes for several days. This was to intimidate the besieged. Impalement was especially widely used by Vlad Tepets (the famous Count Dracula), who executed thousands of Turks after winning the battle for Wallachia.

16. Pillory.
The pillory has been a widespread method of punishment at all times and in every way. social order. The condemned was placed at the pillory on
certain time, from several hours to several days. Falling for the period of punishment bad weather aggravated the situation of the victim and increased the torment, which was probably seen as "divine retribution." The pillory, on the one hand, could be considered relatively in a gentle way punishment in which the perpetrators were simply exposed to public place to general ridicule. On the other hand, those chained to the pillory were completely defenseless before the "court of the people": anyone could insult them with a word or action, spit at them or throw a stone - such treatment, which could be caused by popular indignation or personal enmity, sometimes led to mutilation or even the death of the convicted person.

17. Violin gossip.
It could be wooden or iron, for one or two women. It was an instrument of soft torture, possessing rather a psychological and symbolic
value. There is no documented evidence that the use of this device resulted in physical injury. It was applied mainly to those guilty of slander or insulting a person, the gooks and neck of the victim were fixed in small holes, so that the punished woman found herself in a prayer pose. One can imagine the victim's suffering from circulatory problems and pain in the elbows when the device was worn for long periods, sometimes for several days.

18. Prayer cross.
A brutal instrument used to immobilize a criminal in a cruciform position. It is credible that the Cross was invented in Austria in the 16th century. -XVII centuries. This follows from the book "Justice in Old Times" from the collection of the Museum of Justice in Rottenburg ob der Tauber (Germany). A very similar model, which was in the castle tower in Salzburg (Austria), is mentioned in one of the most detailed descriptions.

19. Rack.
This is one of the most common instruments of torture found in historical descriptions.
The rack was used throughout Europe. Usually this tool was a large table with or without legs, on which the convict was forced to lie down, and his legs and arms were fixed with wooden dies. Immobilized in this way, the victim was "stretched", causing her unbearable pain, often until the muscles were torn. The rotating drum for tensioning chains was not used in all versions of the rack, but only in the most ingenious "modernized" models. The executioner could cut the victim's muscles to hasten the final tearing of the tissues. The body of the victim was stretched over 30 cm before rupturing. Sometimes the victim was tied tightly to the rack to make it easier to use other methods of torture, such as pinching the nipples and other sensitive parts of the body, cauterization with a red-hot iron, etc.

20. Rack.
Design element.

21. Garrote.
This execution tool was used in Spain until recently. The last officially recorded execution using garrote was carried out in 1975. The suicide bomber was seated on a chair with his hands tied behind his back, an iron collar rigidly fixed the position of his head. In the process of execution, the executioner twisted the screw, and the iron wedge slowly entered the skull of the condemned, leading to his death. Another version, more common in recent times, - strangulation with a metal wire. This method of execution is often shown in feature films, especially in films about espionage.

22. Neck traps.
The weapons used by police officers and guards in prisons have a specific function - to exercise control and repression against unarmed prisoners. Of particular interest is the neck trap - a ring with nails on inside and with a device resembling a trap, on outside. Any prisoner who tried to hide in the crowd could be easily stopped using this device. After being caught by the neck, he could no longer free himself, and he was forced to follow the overseer without fear that he would resist.
Such tools are still used in some countries, and in most cases they are equipped with an electroshock device.

23. Iron gag.
The instrument was used to stop the piercing screams of the victim, which bothered the Inquisitors and interfered with their conversation with each other. Iron Pipe
inside the ring was tightly thrust into the throat of the victim, and the collar was locked with a bolt at the back of the head. The hole allowed air to pass through, but if desired, it could be plugged with a finger and cause suffocation. This device was often applied to those condemned to be burned at the stake, especially in the great public ceremony called the Auto-da-fé, when heretics were burned by the dozen. The iron gag made it possible to avoid the situation when the convicts drown out the spiritual music with their cries. Giordano Bruno, guilty of being too progressive, was burned to death in Rome in Campo dei Fiori in 1600 with an iron gag in his mouth. The gag was equipped with two spikes, one of which, piercing the tongue, came out under the chin, and the second crushed the sky.

24. Breast Ripper. No comments.

Torture involves inflicting excruciating pain on a person. The most terrible and disgusting instruments of torture were invented in the Middle Ages. It is known about no less terrible oriental tortures.

The most terrible torture of the Middle Ages

It is known that torture was especially cruel during the Middle Ages. Only by seeing the instruments of torture, one can understand how cruel that time was. The Inquisition, as a system of Christian justice, contributed to the invention huge amount the tools by which this "justice" was carried out. Here are some of the scariest ones.

Fork of the Heretic

The device, called the "Heretic Fork", was used during the period of the "Spanish investigation". The mechanism outwardly resembled a two-sided fork, fixed on the neck. Since no vital organs were pierced during this torture, it could last quite a long time.

The fork was engraved "I renounce". The fork caused severe pain with any movement of the head. Gradually, the flesh of a person was amazed, he died from infections.

pear torture

The instrument of torture, called the torture pear, is considered one of the most terrible. Not a single person survived after being tortured by her.

In appearance, the weapon looks like a metal pear. It was injected into the mouth, into the anus and into the vagina. As soon as the weapon was inserted inside, it opened up, tearing the flesh with sharp tips. Death during torture with such a pear was terrible. Usually, women guilty of a depraved lifestyle and men convicted of homosexuality were tortured with this weapon.

rat torture

The torture by rats is very terrible. A naked man was placed on his chest with a cage with hungry rats. The cage opened from the bottom. After the valve was removed, the rats bit into the body. To make the animals act faster, on upper part hot coals were placed in the cages. Wanting to escape from the heat, the rats simply gnawed their way out. At the same time, the person died, experiencing hellish torments.

Cradle of Judas

The torture device, called the Judas Cradle, is shaped like a pyramid. A naked person was placed on its sharp part. Gradually, the device crashed into the victim's body, tearing the anus and twisting the joints.

It is known that after such torture, only a few people survived. The rest died, screaming loudly in pain to the joy of the executioners and spectators.

The most terrible instruments of torture

The invention of instruments for torture was carried out by people who did not feel even a drop of pity for those who were to be tortured with these instruments. They knew exactly how to knock out necessary indications. The most important thing for them was to deliver as much pain and torment as possible to a person, to make his death terrible and slow. It is hard to believe that human ingenuity was used for such terrible purposes.

Iron Maiden

For the first time, an instrument of torture called the "Iron Maiden" was tested in 1515. Outwardly, it looks like a sarcophagus, inside of which there are many spikes and blades. They are located so as not to touch the vital organs of a person.

During the interrogation, the tortured person was placed in such a sarcophagus. The interrogation could go on for hours or even days. As soon as a person lost consciousness, he pierced the body, hanging on sharp spikes. Death did not come immediately and could drag on for several days.

Shiri (camel cap)

Such an instrument of torture was usually applied to slaves. First of all, the guilty slave was shaved baldly, after which they pulled a neck (flaked camel skin) over it. Then these people were taken away for five days as far as possible, usually they were wastelands. Camel skin dried out quickly, tightening the freshly shaved scalp. The hair did not grow through the neckline, because of which it began to grow inward. From the hellish pain, the slaves went crazy, and soon died.

copper bull

The instrument of torture, called the "Copper Bull", was invented by Perillus, a coppersmith from Greece. He presented his creation to the famous tormentor, the Sicilian tyrant Falaris.

During the torture, a person was placed in a bull through a special door. A fire was kindled under the bull's belly. The man screamed desperately, slowly frying. The bones of the executed in this way were considered decorations and amulets. The inventor Perillo was the first person to be tortured with the instrument of torture he had created.

Terrible oriental torture

Oriental torture differed significantly from the torture invented European nations. The main thing in any oriental torture is to make the victim experience psychological torment, accompanied by physical torment. It must be said that oriental torture did not always end in death.

To deal with the "enemies of the emperor" in the east, tickling torture and dripping water torture were used. Another variant of torture is a cramped box in which the imprisoned person was unable to move any part of the body. The "man-pig" torture was used to make the people horrified. They cut off a man's legs to the knees, his arms to the elbow, cut off his tongue, stunned and blinded him. In this state, he was sent to the pigs in the barn, where he remained until the end of his life.

Siam is known for especially terrible torture. The man was fed cut pieces of meat and strips of skin from him. Women in the East could also be tortured. For those who lived in a harem and were accused of disobedience, several neat incisions were made on the body, where molten lead was poured.

The worst torture in the world

There are many known tortures, each of which could be called the most terrible in the world. And yet, among the tortures of all time, the most cruel is considered the one that the Persian queen Parisatis used on the murderer of her beloved son Cyrus Jr. The name of this killer is Mithridates. His body was squeezed between two wooden troughs, leaving only his head and legs outside.

The killer's head was smeared with honey and milk, which attracted the attention of midges. Mithridates was force-fed, because of this, he constantly went under himself. Soon worms began to appear in the sewage and began to eat the man alive. Mithridates died for eighteen whole days, and the queen came every day, wanting to enjoy his torments.

Not only torture, but also prisons are frightening. The site has a site in which prisoners are kept.
