What is bamboo torture?

Bamboo torture is a form of torture that involves tying a person over a young bamboo shoot, which will eventually grow through their body. The bamboo shoot is placed under the victim and is left to grow through the body slowly, often resulting in a slow and painful death. This form of torture was reportedly used in ancient China, as well as during the Japanese occupation of countries like Korea and the Philippines.

Bamboo torture is said to be one of the most excruciating forms of torture, as the bamboo shoot grows quickly and can cause severe internal injuries as it penetrates the body. The victims would suffer immense pain and eventually die from shock or infection caused by the wound.

While there are historical accounts of bamboo torture being used in the past, there is little concrete evidence to confirm its widespread use. However, the method is still used as a means of torture in some parts of the world today.
