Put it in the prisoner's mouth so that he can't shout, talk or eat.
Some "scary pears" contain sharp thorns, which can be slowly extended from the brake opening, clamped up and pierced the throat. ...
In India and Myanmar, people sentenced to starvation will be blocked by molten lead water in their throats and mouths.
In Africa in the19th century, some tribes tied the bodies of murderers and victims together.
Hand in hand, lips touching, these prisoners were soaked in rotten blood, hungry and thirsty, and died tragically and slowly.
Sometimes, it will make hungry prisoners overeat, then tighten the urine, then block it and let it swell to death.
During World War II, the Nazis often treated prisoners in concentration camps like this.
Sixth, crucify.
This kind of punishment existed in ancient Egypt and was widely used in Mediterranean coastal and Middle Eastern countries.
Generally speaking, it is used to punish people with lower social status, such as slaves and beggars.
Crucification is sometimes used to humiliate criminals who have committed heinous crimes.
As a torture device, the cross usually consists of two or three wooden stakes-if it is a quadrilateral cross, there are even four, with different shapes.
Some are T-shaped, some are X-shaped, and some are Y-shaped.
T-shaped crosses are mainly used to punish troublemakers, sometimes upside down, head down and feet up.
Saint Pierre was executed in this way, it is said that he asked for it himself, because he felt that he could not be punished like Christ.
Long before the prisoners and executioners arrived at the execution site, the straight rod of the cross had been inserted in the ground.
The scene of Christ's cross hitting the "skull" described by later generations is contrary to the facts from the perspective of punishment.
In the execution place, the prisoner is tied to the instrument of torture with a rope, but it is more common to nail directly, first nail the hand and then nail the foot. Nails will never be nailed to the palm of your hand, because the palm can't bear the weight of your body, it will tear and your arm may be liberated.
Experienced executioners will nail spikes into a narrow gap between their wrists, which is now anatomically called the Desto's wide gap.
After entering the modern society, crucifixion still has its vitality.
In 1970s, Vietnamese soldiers crucified "traitors". In 1980s, thieves in some countries were sentenced to this kind of punishment. In the 1990s, seven countries, including Sudan, put prisoners on the cross for public display.
Seven, buried alive buried alive is generally used for mass slaughter.
During the Warring States Period in China, Tian Lei, the general of the State of Qin, buried 400,000 soldiers of the State of Zhao alive, but Qin Shihuang's practice of burying Confucianism was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
When the Romans punished women who broke the law, they also adopted the method of "burying them alive".
Before buried alive, the ancient Persians would throw prisoners into a lot of deliberately burned dust from a height. Asphyxia caused by ashes entering prisoners' lungs is far more terrible than simple hypoxia caused by ordinary buried alive.
Gauls and Germans buried traitors and deserters alive.
Goths use it specifically to deal with homosexuality.
In medieval France, women were not hanged for "decency". After all, it is extremely impolite for a woman to hang her legs in mid-air in full view and must be buried alive.
Records of modern buried alive can be found during the Vietnam War.
Eight, wooden stake punishment
For this kind of punishment, the encyclopedia of19th century defined it as "one of the creations that brought human cruelty to the extreme".
The execution method is to insert a stake in the prisoner's body, and the most common one is to insert * * * to let him die.
According to the diameter of the stake, it is sometimes opened with a dilator or cut with a knife in advance, and then the executioner inserts the stake and nails it with a hammer.
In some areas, after the stake is inserted 50 or 60 centimeters, the executioner will erect the stake and insert it into the copper coins that have been laid in advance, so that the stake will match the prisoner's own weight and go deep bit by bit until it passes through the armpit, chest, back or anus. Under normal circumstances, prisoners who are so "repaired" often have to endure torture for more than three days.
Stake punishment was particularly popular during the pro-Christian war in Europe. In the Italian city of Piedmont in 1669, a nobleman's daughter Delatour was dressed to death, and a group of executioners held her high, claiming that the body was their flag.
1958, the uncle of the king of Iraq was sentenced to the stake for homosexuality. He chose this punishment because he "likes to put things in * * *".
Nine, skinned alive
Peeling is peeling, which can be partial peeling or complete peeling.
In ancient India, peeling alive was also called "removing fine hair with a small fire", that is, burning the skin with a torch and roasting the body until it is medium-cooked.
At this time, the skin of live meat completely attached to the body is separated.
Then, "ignore the prisoner's cry and completely skin him ... his muscles are completely exposed and his blood vessels are clearly exposed. You can see his internal organs beating, the lights shining on his chest and his muscle fibers glowing."
This kind of skinning requires skill, which may have represented the highest level of human skinning activities.
Because in other regions and countries, many people do not pursue the overall effect, but directly do "artistic processing."
Or cut into extremely thin strips, or cut into disks, thin slices and rectangular pieces ... The best masterpiece of treatment is to cut the skin into long and narrow circular details.
As a punishment, skin peeling has disappeared for centuries, but human skin has always been the target of terrible collectors.
/kloc-At the end of 0/9, a complete tanned human skin was exhibited in the famous Spizner in the history of human anatomy.
There are Nazis, who collect not only human skins with beautiful tattoos, but also some human skins as good materials for book covers, lampshades, cardboard cushions or other works of art.
Ten, dismemberment punishment means simply chop off limbs.
However, after a certain period of development, torturers feel that it is too cheap to "simply" torture prisoners, so there are many kinds of tricks.
Persian ingenuity is to cut off fingers first, then toes, then hands, arms, ankles, legs, ears and nose. ...
China people's way of playing is to stop bleeding with gold sore medicine after limb amputation, wrap the wound with cloth, put it in a big urn and put it in the toilet. The prisoner will suffer for a long time before he dies.
After the Han dynasty, the punishment of dismemberment was replaced by the punishment of year. Perhaps in the executioner's view, in the punishment is more painful and subtle. ...
Today, there are still some countries that stipulate that amputation can be used for thieves. Pakistan's code stipulates: "the first thief will have his right hand cut off from his wrist;" The second violator will have his left foot cut off.
"But there are almost no cases in which this kind of punishment deprives prisoners of their lives.
People in Asia and the Middle East especially like this kind of punishment.
The key to this punishment is to scatter the human body until death.
The Persian Empire divided the rebels into four parts.
The Romans cut their chests first when dealing with female prisoners and cut their genitals first when dealing with male prisoners.
When the Greeks cut the meat, they had to add the procedure of deboning, which made the prisoners look like dolls filled with sawdust.
But compared with China people, other ethnic groups are rough.
China people have developed this year to its peak, making it a stunt.
At the beginning of the execution, the executioner will skillfully cut out the Adam's apple of the prisoner to prevent him from shouting.
Then quickly bleed to dress the wound. The first part is the back, and the meat cut by each knife must be only the size of a fingernail.
To kill an adult, you must use 3357 knives, and the knives must bleed and lose meat. It should be glued to it with a large white porcelain plate for the audience to appreciate and get appreciation. If the prisoner dies before the specified number of knives, the executioner will be laughed at by the audience and may lose his job.
Twelve, dismemberment punishment
This is a typical western death penalty, which is closely related to westerners' love of playing with machinery.
The prisoner was nailed to a big wheel. Shake the handle and the wheel can rotate around the shaft. Every time the roulette wheel turns, the iron thorn fixed on the ground will cut off a piece of meat, and after more than ten turns, the prisoner will basically be torn to pieces.
Thirteen, grinding punishment can be roughly divided into three categories: one is to grind with a fixed weight; Second, put the prisoner in the middle, exert force on both sides at the same time and gradually increase the weight; The third is to crush or tear things with advantages.
In Rome and Egypt, prisoners are often put on spikes and then run over with boulders, so prisoners have no chance of survival.
The Germans used a heavy wooden platter and dragged it back with horses until the prisoner turned into a bloody sauce.
In Persia, prisoners were stuffed into juicers used to squeeze grapes and olives, and the prisoners treated like this had no shape.
Fourteen Burn at the stake
Burning people with fire is the most primitive and barbaric practice, which was said by both east and west in ancient times.
The Gauls put the prisoners in a huge and strong wicker basket and set them on fire.
The Japanese used a similar method in the19th century.
This method is said to be "very ornamental". The prisoners screamed and jumped in the basket, but they couldn't climb out of this "unique environment" anyway.
In skeat, the prisoners were thrown into a carriage filled with dry wood and sprinkled with thin resin. Once there is a fire, the frightened cow will pull the train across the city as a warning.
The Romans nailed the prisoner to the cross, then poured it with asphalt and turpentine to make a big torch handle and brought it to the public.
In medieval England and Italy, prisoners were wrapped in firewood, tied like brown seeds, and then lit.
As for the special stake, it is to tie people high and burn them at their feet. Joan of Arc in France was executed in this way.
The whole process of her burning to death was full of obscene exhibition means. ...
It is said that wooden stakes have a purifying effect.
Therefore, the stake is always associated with the elimination of heresy and evil.
Fifteen, roast punishment and roast punishment
These two kinds of punishment are commonly used execution methods, and the difference from the fire punishment is that prisoners must be treated with "small fire".
The purpose of keeping the fire within a certain range is to let the prisoner die when he is awake.
The most famous victim of this punishment during the Roman Empire was Saint Laurent, a Christian sect. In memory of him, a fashion company named after him in Paris is famous all over the world.
At that time, he offended the authorities for the poor, so he was whipped first, his nails were pulled out, his teeth were broken, and then he was put on an iron frame and roasted with charcoal fire.
It is said that it was baked for a long time, and Laurent said to the executioner, "Don't you think I baked too much on this side?" Can you turn it over? " He turned it over and said, "It's delicious. Almost finished. You can eat it.
"Then he died.
As for coating prisoners with honey and smoking with smoking firewood, that is a punishment. Some people have been choked to death by fire smoke before they are "cooked" during the execution.
Asian executioners are more cruel. They often burn iron balls red, then clamp them with pliers and put them in a hole opened in the prisoner's head in advance. In this way, the prisoner's brain immediately boils and overflows from the hole.
The ancient Indians used iron bars, which were burnt white in the fire and inserted into the prisoners' mouths.
In old China, there were ovens specially used for "cannon" punishment, mostly made of copper.
Sixteen. See the punishment. It's a special kind of decomposition punishment.
The torture device is a saw.
It is said that orientals like horizontal sawing, while westerners like straight sawing.
After Christianity was introduced to Japan, the Japanese were also keen on seesaw. They used to saw from the top of their heads, while western torturers saw from the groin between their legs. The consequences are the most terrible, because prisoners are awake before cutting their navel.
In order to prolong the painful process, prisoners are often allowed to keep their heads down so that their brains can get enough oxygen and they can avoid dying from excessive blood loss.
The last masterpiece in Saw's history was written by a manic Gestapo.
They have all kinds of hacksaws. In their hands, people become a tree, can do whatever they want, and can cut any part they want.
Seventeen, arrow punishment and piercing punishment are both arrow punishment. It seems that all ethnic groups use bows and arrows, so this is a widely used punishment, but there are differences in the treatment of shooting a certain part of the body with an arrow first.
The key of penetrating punishment is to penetrate muscles and tissues with sharp tools.
However, as an established execution method, the executioner always shows some creativity, so there are many ways to run through it.
Dressing people in a string and hanging them on it for public display is the favorite thing of European rulers. Prisoners often die in a few days ... The most terrible torture device is an iron torture device called "Matt Do Lourosa", which is different from the previously invented torture device "Saint of Nuremberg". It does not rely on the "girl's chest" position on the torture device to clamp the prisoner, but uses a flexible mechanical arm.
Instead of penetrating the prisoner's body with all kinds of iron thorns all over the torture device, it tightens the arm to suffocate the prisoner, and then a steel thorn will protrude from the heart of the torture device and insert it into the prisoner's body. ...
18. Poisoning started from a very young age, and taking poison to death is one of the execution methods.
According to records, the early poisoning in this case was the execution of the philosopher Socrates.
Sue was poisoned because she offended the dignitaries in Athens.
As soon as the poison arrived, he asked the executioner, "All right, my warrior, tell me what to do?" The latter told him not to walk around the room after drinking poison, because exercise would slow down the onset of poison and prolong the time of death.
Talk as little as possible, or you'll have to drink twice as much.
It is said that it was collected by the Su family.
At that time, hemlock, which was commonly extracted from hemlock in Greece and Europe, was mostly used as poison.
In ancient China, poison was extracted from animals, insects, minerals and plants. It seems that compared with the west, there are many ways to poison people.
In order to be effective and humanized, modern society began to use the methods of ancestors again.
Gas chambers and euthanasia injections seem to be a continuation.
Nineteen. Hanging hanging
It is different from hanging. The method is to cut the prisoner's hands behind his back, then tie his wrist with a rope and carry it to the top of the execution rack. Then, he suddenly let go of the rope and let it fall, stopping only a few tens of centimeters from the ground.
The prisoner's arm will dislocate under the impact of stopping landing.
Hanging by weight is even more cruel. It is recorded that if more than 60 kilograms of heavy objects are tied to the victim's leg for punishment, even his leg will be dislocated.
If it exceeds 100 kg, the bones of the whole body will break under the impact, even if the belly is open, it is not uncommon for the internal organs to overflow.
/kloc-In the middle of the 9th century, the Qing Dynasty in China hanged Catholic missionaries, which was widely used as a legal form of punishment.
Twenty, flogging and stick punishment
Whipping exists in all periods of history.
Singapore is the first country with a high degree of modern social civilization and severe whipping.
Whips can be made of various cotton-wrapped materials, such as leather and plant fibers. And there can be accessories on it, such as spikes, hooks, stones and metal balls.
In a word, if it is determined that this whip is specially used to hit people, it must be a masterpiece of human beings full of vicious intentions.
The result of being beaten is "turned into a human rag."
Sticks can be made of wood, bamboo, iron, copper and other materials. Killing is easier than flogging, and the pain is far less than flogging, so clubbing is very unpopular.
In the words of torture experts, "when the prisoner has not deeply regretted the seriousness of the result of his behavior, it is all over."
"The freedom to execute flogging is much greater. In a certain period of time, victims can soak in salt water, acidic water and alkaline water ... and all kinds of "sauces" can be applied to carrion. The most heinous thing is the famous "Pima Dai Xiao" in China's history. The bloody part of the flogged person was wrapped in white linen. After 24 hours, the linen was torn off from the prisoner one by one. Give me a good time, and then kill me ... For torturers, deprivation of life is the ultimate goal, but only the prisoner knows a series of pains and helplessness before his death.
Twenty-one, wheel punishment This is a kind of punishment that binds people to wheels and kills them alive.
The executioner was holding an iron bar. According to the execution procedure, he must first break the prisoner's limbs, hit them eight times in total, and break them into sixteen segments, and finally come up to his chest twice to end the prisoner's life. A fatal blow is called a "merciful blow".
It seems hard to imagine that most prisoners are still breathing after being hit twice in the chest.
In order to prove his unkindness, the executioner will twist the prisoner's hands and legs behind his back and let them touch the prisoner's head. The audience will cry, laugh or sigh with this gesture with sad and joyful effect.
Because of the display of wheel punishment, the executioner is required to show special professional skills.
French prisoner Lalander went down in history for accusing the executioner.
When the executioner had neatly solved his arms and legs and was about to break his chest, the stick slipped slightly and touched his chin. Lalander shouted, "Hey, it's against the rules."
As a result, the audience started shouting and someone raised his fist.
The executioner said to him, "Strange thing, they seem to want me to die instead of you."
Twenty-two, the special feature of this kind of punishment is that the prisoner's limbs should be affected by "force" at the same time. ...
The earliest record of this punishment is in Greek books. Their execution method is to tie human limbs to an artificially curved tree and use the elasticity of the tree to crack the human body.
Ancient China and ancient Rome used horse-drawn chariots to dismember corpses, and Shang Yang, the famous prime minister of Qin State, was an immortal victim.
But it seems that the execution of punishment is not as easy as imagined, and people are not as easy to tear paper.
/kloc-In his book History of France, the French writer Misley in the 6th century wrote: "Riding on a whipping horse, frantically dragging a rope tied with four limbs.
Although the executioner had already torn the flesh off the prisoner's leg with pliers and pulled his arm away, his muscles could still bear such a big pull.
The helpless executioner had to bring a big meat grinder and cut off the meat he thought would hinder the execution.
In this way, the horse finally broke its limbs ... the living trunk fell to the ground.
"
It has also been recorded that sometimes the executed horse was so tired that he foamed at the mouth, but the prisoner's limbs were still attached to his trunk, which made the executioner, the prisoner and the audience very impatient.
Therefore, when executing the execution, the executioner should be very considerate, study the physical characteristics of the prisoner and understand the respective strength of the executed horse. ...
Twenty-three, strangulation
Strangulation is strangulation, as suffocating as hanging.
But it doesn't mainly depend on the prisoner's own weight, but it dies by some external force acting on the neck.
Strangulation is used by many ethnic groups in Asia and Europe, but there are regulations in some parts of Europe that virgins are not allowed to be strangled, so executioners must make virgins lose their virginity before putting ropes or other instruments of torture around prisoners' necks.
According to written records, the strangulation record of China people is clear, but it seems that this punishment is dedicated to the upper class, because there is still a "whole corpse" after death.
It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that someone invented a special method of strangulation, called flail, which was specially used to execute the inferior people who were considered to be the most heinous crimes.
The method is as follows: first, tie the prisoner's hands, put his neck into a round hole in a board, then lift the board and put it on an execution rack with an iron fence.
In this way, the prisoner's neck and chin were suspended and his feet were suspended for about 50 cm.
If you want the prisoner to die, tie the stone to your feet.
If you want to torture him, it depends on the prisoner's own weight. It usually takes a day or two for a prisoner to really die.
Twenty-four, strangulation does not hang.
It is very similar to the strangulation principle, which can be said to be the mechanization of artificial death penalty.
The initial strangulation was to let the prisoner sit on a platform with his hands tied in front of his abdomen and his back leaning against a vertical wooden stake. The executioner put a hemp rope in the hole of the stake, braided it into a ring to cover the prisoner's neck, then tied both ends of the hemp rope to the other end of the stake and inserted a stick from it.
When the stick turns, the ring tightens to strangle the prisoner.
This method does not hurt the carotid artery at all, but makes people suffocate slowly.
Later, the strangulation machine made of metal appeared, and the iron ring was used instead of the noose. The rotatable screw made the iron ring shrink more easily.
