Torture device

One torture device is called "necklacing". Basically created in the 80's and 90's in South Africa as a lethal death sentence. The idea is to use a tire filled with petrol and force it around the victim's chest and arms and set it on fire. Causing a long and painful death with severe burning. This practice of lynching is also found in the Carri bean country of Haiti from 1986 to 1990. Necklacing returned to South-Africa in 2008 when people turned against immigrants from Zimbabwe. The influx of immigrants led to violence, looting and murder in some of South Africa’s poorest areas, this violence included necklace lynching.
