(1) Small Cell: The detainee is locked up in a very small cell alone. The guards handcuff practitioners behind their backs in a fixed position, in which the practitioners can neither move nor lie down. The small cell is very damp and no sunshine comes in. Detainees have to urinate and defecate in the cell. Only half of a regular meal is served to detainees locked up in a small cell during the daytime. During the night rats scurry about the cell. The stench in the small cell is so bad that it is difficult to breathe.
