Rat Torture - or rat torture.

A bucket full of starved rats was used, which was tied tightly to the victim's stomach. Then the bucket was heated. The rats inside will go into a state of extreme panic and find a way to get out. And guess what? Desperate for a way out of the heat, the rats began burrowing through the only soft surface they could find at the time: the victim's flesh. With sharp claws and teeth, the rats quickly gnawed at the victim's flesh, causing extreme pain and terror. And of course, death will come.

According to some records, this form of torture was used in the 17th century during the uprising in the Netherlands. The leader Diederik Sonay used against captured prisoners. This form of torture was also used in the late 20th century.

Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet is accused of using rat torture against political opponents during his time in power.
