“This isn’t the first time. And it won’t be the last time she dies.”

Torture must be administered in stages, from mild to severe, for maximum efficiency. Pouring water into the nostrils or applying mild electric shocks, or lightly rubbing a thin wire against the neck to scratch the skin—these don’t cause severe bodily harm but are very effective in breaking a person’s mental state.
