A former Uyghur detainee, Madi, told Amnesty he witnessed the torture of a cellmate who he later learned died from the effects of the torture. Madi said the man was made to sit in a tiger chair in the middle of their cell. #FreeTheUyghurs #FreeTheAseer 
The cellmates were made to watch him sit there, restrained and immobilized, for 3 days, and were expressly forbidden to help him.
"[The man] was in our room for more than two months…he was made to sit in a tiger chair. [I think the man was being punished for pushing a guard.]
"[The man] was in our room for more than two months…he was made to sit in a tiger chair. [I think the man was being punished for pushing a guard.]
They brought the chair into our room…They told us that if we helped him then we would sit in the chair—It was an iron chair—his arms were cuffed and chained. Legs were chained as well. His body was tied to the back of the chair—Two [cuffs] were locked around his wrists and legs.
A rubber thing attached to the ribs to make the person [sit] up straight—at some point we could see his testicles. He would [urinate & defecate] in the chair. He was in the chair for three nights—He died after he [was taken out]. We found out through [people] in the cell."
