Torture in Tibet

Torture and ill-treatment is widespread in Tibet.

Tibetan political prisoners are subjected to torture and maltreatment, to break their spirit and in order to obtain confessions that form the basis for convictions to long-term prison sentences.

Common torture practices include:

Electric-shock batons to the head, face, mouth or even genitals
Beating with sticks and iron rods
Forced sitting/standing in extreme positions for hours
Application of hot objects to the skin
Mental torture and humiliation
Deprivation of sleep and food
Solitary confinement without daylight

Many kinds of cruel torture methods are used which can leave prisoners mentally and physically scarred.
