hitting the wounded with a metal truncheon,
hitting a prisoner against a wall,
electric shock,

the so-called "Spider" - binding together (six) standing prisoners with a rope, by the genitals and pushing one of them,
binding limbs and penises with wire and then dragging them across the floor,
pendulum,
inserting objects into the rectum,
rapes (including minors),
urinating on prisoners, sexual humiliation, threatening with death, making them lie on one another and stand for hours in the same position with a bag over their head, etc.
