Report
Tiger Chairs and Cell Bosses: Police Torture of Criminal Suspects in China
13 May 2015
Abstract
This report is based on Human Rights Watch analysis of hundreds of newly published court verdicts from across the China and interviews with 48 recent detainees, family members, lawyers, and former officials. Human Rights Watch found that police torture and ill-treatment of suspects in pretrial detention in China remains a serious problem. Among the findings are that detainees have been forced to spend days shackled to 'tiger chairs,' hung by the wrists, and treated abusively by 'cell bosses' -- fellow detainees who oversee cells for the police.
