kalau diarah minum arak, mkn vavi...lepas tu x nk...hadap la tiger chair..
Tiger Chair The tiger chair, also known as a tiger bench, is a five-foot long board with a vertical backrest on one end. The tortured detainee sits lengthwise with his or her legs stretching down the board. His or her arms are restricted behind the backrest. The mouth may or may not be gaged, but often times left unobstructed to allow for shouts and screams that can frighten other prisoners. Initially, ropes are tied tightly around the legs, above and below the knee.This procedure has been reported to cause extreme discomfort as the ropes cut into the skin. Next, bricks are placed underneath the calves elevating the legs. Not only are the bricks uncomfortable, but also the knees start to stress from hypertension—unnatural backward bending of the knee. At the same time, the tension in the rope increases as the bricks are added digging into the victim’s skin and muscle tissue. The more the victim resists, the greater the chance for bricks to be added, increasing the legs elevation and tension in the ropes. The torture progresses until the ropes break. It has been documented; prisoners have gone to a literal breaking point with bone fractures. Additionally, metal poles or wooden rods with weights on the end will be placed over the victim’s legs increasing the severity in pain. Finally, as the victim is tied, he or she is unable to defend against punches, kicks, electrical prods, and so on. One detainee said, “I sat until my buttocks bled[4].” The victim can be left in the same position for hours, even days in discomfort.
