live burial  

Definición

  • Burial alive has been used as a form of torture to induce panic and physiological breakdown, and state endorsed and illegal cases have been documented from India, Russia, China, the United States, and Europe. This entry focuses on a much more extraordinary form of live burial: that which occurs as a part of social and cultural practice.
