When Stéphane Passet took the photo, he described it as “Le supplice d’une femme condamnée à mort pour adultère,” meaning “the torture of a woman condemned to death for adultery.” The method, known as immurement—where a prisoner is walled up or placed in a box until death—was used in Mongolia as punishment. Passet likely relied on guides for this information, as he didn’t speak Mongolian.
