I’ve noticed two of the women being shot have some sort of white ribbon around their thighs, just above the knees.
Got any idea what the significance of that is?
I assume that is Chinese prisoner hobbling. Cord or even rags would be used to bind the legs tightly above the knees upon leaving the final cell. This allows a prisoner to mince forward with little footsteps, but they would be 100% unable to break into a run. Makes perfect sense, in terms of the arcane art of safe prisoner handling. And the old cord or rags can just stay on the corpse, no bloody shackles to remove and clean.
