Chechens Tell of Prison Beatings and Electric Shocks in Anti-Gay Purge: "They Called Us Animals"

[peddlestools]

At least once a day, Adam’s captors attached metal clamps to his fingers and toes. One of the men then cranked a handle on a machine to which the clamps were linked with wires, and sent powerful electric shocks through his body. If he managed not to scream, others would join in, beating him with wooden sticks or metal rods

By the way, Amnesty International is asking the general public in the US to contact the state department and demand action

If you're outside of the US, contact the equivalent department in your country.

For the Canadians on the list, I don't know what the Canadian equivalent to the state department is -I tried looking it up but maybe I was using the wrong search terms?

For Canadians, writing/contacting our (federal) member of parliament can definitely be an option.

Here is a link to help (i.e. you can search by postal code): http://www.lop.parl.gc.ca/ParlInfo/Compilations/HouseOfCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC
