The Shabak (or Shabach) technique is a controversial torture technique allegedly used by the Israeli government (specifically Shin Bet, also known as the General Security Service or Shabak, after which the technique is named) on Palestinian suspects during interrogation. It involves forcing the subject to sit on a short stool or chair which is angled forward (so that it is impossible to sit in a comfortable, stable position), and then tying their arms and legs behind them to the chair, while also covering their head with a bag and possibly subjecting them to extremely loud noise, such as music. The subject is then left in this condition for extended periods of time. Sleep is not allowed for the duration.
