SHIRI TORTURE The torture called shiri, one of the most horrific in human history, was practiced in the Asian deserts, in what is now Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan. A raw camel hide, known as the shiri, was divided into several pieces and was stretched over the shaven head of the captured victim. The prisoners were then left out in the steppe without food or water under the blazing sun. If they had not already perished from dehydration or starvation, the drying out of the camel skin created an insufferable pressure on the skull. Of the few that survived this ordeal would lost their memories and never yearn to return home or revolt against their tormentors.

When Your Childhood Friend Comes At You In Riot Gear Two childhood friends meet during a protest. One is a factory worker, the other is a riot officer.

But because, like many moments in life, the backstory is just as poignant. Take a minute to absorb the emotion on the striker’s face. We might assume his expression is triggered by heated emotions related to the protest. But it was more than that. This is the moment the protestor recognized that the officer with the baton was his childhood friend. True story. Long before Jacques Gourmelen took this photo on April 6, 1972 in Saint-Brieuc (France), the
