The jiagun ( 夾棍) ankle crusher was a Chinese instrument of torture consisting of three wooden boards approximately a yard in length that were connected with cords, which when placed around a suspect's feet and gradually pulled, caused agonizing pain in order to force a confession. Under traditional Chinese law, a person could not be convicted of a crime unless they confessed. The jiagun was a legal and non-lethal method for torturing men to confess, and for women there was the similar and less painful zanzhi finger crusher with small sticks and cords.

  • The jiagun ( 夾棍) ankle crusher was a Chinese instrument of torture consisting of three wooden boards approximately a yard in length that were connected with cords, which when placed around a suspect's feet and gradually pulled, caused agonizing pain in order to force a confession. Under traditional Chinese law, a person could not be convicted of a crime unless they confessed. The jiagun was a legal and non-lethal method for torturing men to confess, and for women there was the similar and less painful zanzhi finger crusher with small sticks and cords. (en)
  • Kia quen (chinês: 夾棍, pinyin: jiágùn, Wade-Giles: chia2-kun3, lit. ‘varas de beliscar’) foi uma técnica de tortura física utilizada na China no Século XVII para interrogar suspeitos do sexo masculino sem colocar suas vidas em perigo. A técnica consistia em posicionar três tábuas de madeira ou bambu, conectadas por corda, ao redor e entre os pés descalços do suspeito. A construção do dispositivo permitia que as placas fossem abertas e fechadas (como as asas de uma borboleta) ou gradualmente apertadas. Cada vez que o prisioneiro se recusava a testemunhar ou confessar, a corda era puxada com força e as pranchas eram golpeadas com força nos tornozelos ou lentamente apertavam os pés com mais força ainda. Um dispositivo semelhante chamado Tean zu, aplicado exclusivamente a mulheres, empregava mecanismos essencialmente idênticos para apertar e esmagar os ossos dos dedos. A tortura era tipicamente conduzida enquanto o prisioneiro era forçado a se ajoelhar dolorosamente em cima de correntes dobradas feitas de elos de ferro afiados. (pt)
