Don't buy it, its your choice.

Cutting off eyelids was a practice that was done at certain times during interrogations where they tortured people. I can guarantee you on the grave of my grandmother that it took place. Surprising that its not really talked about all that much. The only people that knew about it were on the inside who were physically there to witness it firsthand. They did it on purpose because when being tortured for 2 or 3 days in a row well its pretty fuckin bad being forced to stay awake that long when you can't physically close your eyes. This usually did a pretty good job at getting information out of people. But unfortunately for the dumb fuck they got a bullet in their head or their throat cut anyway.
