Short shackling
 | This article needs more citations. (November 2014) |
Short shackling is a torture technique where the person being tortured is bound, usually by the hands with a shackle, with little to no room to move in the radius of the tether. According to a military report, the suspect's hands are shackled to an eyebolt on the floor, so that the suspect is forced to lie in a fetal position or squatting position.[1] It is believed that the suspect's feet are also bound to the eyebolt, similar to hogtying, but this has not been confirmed in any government reports.[clarification needed] This interrogation technique can cause flesh wounds.
