'Anti-pervert' flame-throwers for sale in China
'Anti-pervert' hand-held flame-throwers are being sold as a self-defense tool against sexual attackers in China. While some of them emit small flames, others hurl fire for 50 centimetre with temperatures of up to 1,800 degrees Celsius. A vendor said they can "leave a permanent scar, but are a...non-lethal tool". However, Chinese police have warned the devices are against the law. nn
