in oil, presumably to psyche out anyone who might consider trying to go against him.
I can remember I found photos of one of his victims in a convincingly dead state after his boiling, and also a photo of his mother, holding the picture in her hands. Apparently that lunatic was A-OK with U.S. Republicans.
Uzbek mother who publicised 'boiling' torture of son gets hard labour

The elderly mother of a religious prisoner allegedly boiled to death by Uzbekistan's secret police has been sentenced to six years in a maximum security jail after she made public her son's torture.
Fatima Mukhadirova, 63, a former market vegetable seller, is the mother of Muzafar Avazov, who died in the notorious Jaslik high security jail in 2002. She was convicted of attempting to "overthrow the constitutional order".
An Uzbek judge yesterday said she had "set up an underground cell of women propagating the ideas of [banned Islamic fundamentalist group] Hizbut Tahrir". The secret police had found "incriminating" pamphlets in her flat, a common occurrence in arrests of group members.
The British ambassador to Tashkent, Craig Murray, last night told the Guarwadian: "This is appalling. She took photographs of her son's corpse which she gave to the British embassy. The Foreign Office sent them to the University of Glasgow pathology department. Their forensic report said the body had clearly been immersed [in boiling water] because of the tide marks around the upper torso." He said that Ms Mukhadirova's continuing campaign seemed to explain why she had been targeted by the authorities. She now had a sentence of hard labour. "The chances of her surviving that are very limited," he said.
Uzbek prison authorities maintain that Mr Avazov died after inmates spilled hot tea on him. But the forensic report said that his teeth had been smashed and his fingernails torn out. His body was covered in burns.
Mirzakayum Avazov, Ms Mukhadirova's youngest son, said: "My mother was simply trying to defend her sons and looked for justice. She only wanted those guilty of Muzafar's death to be punished."

What a shame there are so few US Americans willing to put in the time doing their research homework learning something beyond the total whitewashed story of US history taught in all primary and secondary US schools. It's all there for anyone willing to wake up and start learning after receiving his or her public "education."
