Eritrean Christians describe anti-faith torture methods

For Paulus, an Eritrean refugee in northern Ethiopia, a helicopter is not only an aircraft people can spot in the sky above. It is also a form of torture which forces victims to balance on their belly with hands and feet tied together and legs bent behind their back.

The evangelical Christian said he knows “the helicopter” well because, he claims, he was tied in that position for 136 hours in an effort to pressure him to recant his faith.

“They kept asking me to sign a document,” he told BBC News in a report last week, “and agree to not participate in church activities or express my faith in any form. I was told I would be untied and released the minute I agreed to their requests.”
