the fallen corpse in a bloody shirt. We see four people hanging from nooses (no blood is
visible); also, a man hangs himself (we don't actually see him do it, but we see him
getting ready to wrap the noose around his neck and then later we see a close-up of his
dangling corpse). A man drinks poison and kills himself. We hear many gunshots and
it's implied people are being shot but we don't see anyone die; some threatening
with guns. Men are punched, kicked and beaten with clubs; a man is punched and beaten and
we see his bruised and bloody face. A man is tortured by repeatedly having his head dunked
in water.
