One of the officers reportedly threatened Alexandru with
his gun and also threatened to subject him to rotisor (a well-known torture method where
the detainee, whose hands and feet are tied, is suspended on a pole between two chairs
and then beaten, causing the body to swing)

"Rotisor" would in other contexts be translated as "spit" or "skewer" used for roasting chicken etc.

It does sound disusting, I agree. And, if it is any consolation, I have never heard about it before... I just looked it up now.

Thank you Veronica. It sounds thoroughly disgusting. It's sad that it is well known. |
