During the first few days of interrogation, detainees are generally deprived of food, either partially or totally. Sometimes the detainee's hands remain handcuffed while he is eating. The detainees are often denied adequate sleep throughout their detention. In addition, detainees may be prevented from having access to toilet facilities forcing many of them to soil themselves. Beatings - Beatings in detention are carried out with clubs, fists, and boots and they tend to concentrate on sensitive organs such as the genitals, stomach, larynx, and head.

During this time he is subjected to disturbing voices and the sounds of screams. Suffocation - Interrogators apply pressure to the windpipe so that the detainee can no longer breath often causing them to lose consciousness. Another method of suffocation is placing a sack over the detainee's head and covering his nose and mouth to prevent him from breathing. The detainee is hand cuffed and hooded and laid on the ground in such a position that the bottom of his feet are facing up. The soles of his feet are whipped dozens of times with a stick or a plastic hose until he loses consciousness.
