Fear-based torture
Fear-based torture involves inflicting psychological and physical pain primarily through threats, intimidation, and creating a sense of helplessness. The aim is to break an individual's mental resilience by inducing intense fear, often making them confess to something they haven't done or comply with demands. This method leverages the power of fear to degrade a person's sense of safety and control, causing lasting emotional and psychological trauma. It focuses on the person's mental state rather than solely physical harm, making it a particularly manipulative and enduring form of torture.
