Torture

Torture is the infliction of severe physical pain, psychological pain, and possibly injury to a person or other living being on purpose. In most cases, the victim is restrained and unable to resist the violence of the perpetrator. Torture has been used and continues to be used by individuals, organizations, and governments, regardless of numerous governments' and international organizations' laws opposing torture. This is because there are numerous motives for torture such as: punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, interrogation or coercion of the victim or a third party, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture.

Usually, YES. While the genocide technically is the intent to kill or remove the people of a certain ethnic, religious, or racial group, such acts are almost always accompanied by rape and torture.

Displacement is part of the genocide since the killing or removal of people from a certain area necessarily displaces them from that area.

If this doesn't help which it should, I suggest you see a doctor or find out the underlying problem of your sleep deprivation.

The cat of nine tails was a medieval torture device. It was a stick with cords tied to sharp objects and used for whipping criminals. The criminals did whatever was considered worthy of a beating.
