1) Shin was thrown into a small cell and repeatedly interrogated for two days. On day three, they hung him upside down from the cell’s ceiling, and then they took him to what appeared to be a torture room that was filled with clubs, axes, hooks, and pliers. After once again telling them that he didn’t know anything, he was stripped, hung from the ceiling, and lowered into a tub of hot coals. When he twisted his body to evade the heat, one of the men stabbed him in the abdomen with a gaff hook. He then lost consciousness.
