The mind boggles! Do you think they just happened to have the onions to hand or do you think they went to the shop and bought them especially for this purpose?

Nice to see you're a mail reader Lambada!

This also brings up a good point - if for whatever reason you end up in a Dominican Jail - don't eat the onions!

Those black uniformed cops are known locally as the Ninjas. They can grab a few onions at the nearby colmado before interrogating a prisoner.

Onions? That is so random. What weird mind thought that one up?
Hot peppers I could see.
I have heard of that used for torture (being inserted into very private body parts)

LOL. Small confession, I'm not (other than their This Is Money sub-board which is a very good resource for catching up on UK banking risks/developments etc).

But where is this in the Dominican Press? I read the papers and I have yet to come across it. It is, as El_Uruguayo says on the wires, both in English and Spanish:

But........I have to go to a comic like the Mail to get news about infringement of human rights in the DR......or 'cruel & unusual punishment'? H'mmm.

Really shouldn't surprise anyone.

Dominicans use onions everywhere else.;)

I wouldn't be surprised if they had tried oregano first...

I think hot peppers would be more effective than onions, as most Dominicans cannot stand anything even a little bit spicy!
