Shocking Truth: Bamboo Torture Revealed

Bamboo torture is a form of torture and execution where a bamboo shoot grows through the body of a victim. It was reportedly used in East and South Asian countries such as China and especially Japan, but claims of its usage lack reliable evidence.
After World War II, stories circulated that Japanese soldiers inflicted "bamboo torture" on Allied prisoners of war, tying the victims tightly to young bamboo shoots. Over several days, sharp, fast-growing shoots first burrow, then penetrate completely through the victim's body, eventually emerging from the other side.
