  • The five techniques (also known as Deep-Interrogation) are illegal interrogation methods which were originally developed by the British military in other operational theatres and then applied to detainees during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. They have been defined as prolonged wall-standing, hooding, subjection to noise, deprivation of sleep, and deprivation of food and drink. They were first used in Northern Ireland in 1971 as part of Operation Demetrius – the mass arrest and internment (imprisonment without trial) of people suspected of involvement with the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). Out of those arrested, fourteen were subjected to a programme of "deep interrogation" using the five techniques. This took place at Shackleton Barracks, a secret interrogation centre in Northern Ireland. For seven days, when not being interrogated, the detainees were kept hooded and handcuffed in a cold cell and subjected to a continuous loud hissing noise. Here they were forced to stand in a stress position for many hours and were deprived of sleep, food and drink. They were also repeatedly beaten, and some reported being kicked in the genitals, having their heads banged against walls and being threatened with injections. The effect was prolonged pain, physical and mental exhaustion, severe anxiety, depression, hallucinations, disorientation and repeated loss of consciousness. It also resulted in long-term psychological trauma. The fourteen became known as "the Hooded Men" and were the only detainees in Northern Ireland subjected to all five techniques together. Other detainees were subjected to at least one of the five techniques along with other interrogation methods. In 1976, the European Commission of Human Rights ruled that the five techniques amounted to torture. The case was then referred to the European Court of Human Rights. In 1978 the court ruled that the techniques were "inhuman and degrading" and breached Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, but did not amount to torture. In 2014, after new information was uncovered that showed the decision to use the five techniques in Northern Ireland in 1971–1972 had been taken by ministers, the Irish Government asked the European Court of Human Rights to review its judgement. In 2018, the Court declined. The Court's ruling that the five techniques did not amount to torture was later internally cited by the United States to justify its own interrogation methods, which included the five techniques. British agents also taught the five techniques to the forces of Brazil's military dictatorship. During the Iraq War, the illegal use of the five techniques by British soldiers contributed to the death of Baha Mousa. In 2021, the United Kingdom Supreme Court found that the use of the five techniques amounts to torture. (en)
  • Le cinque tecniche (in inglese: five techniques) erano dei metodi di interrogatorio illegali che sono stati sviluppati originariamente dalle forze armate britanniche in altri scenari operativi e successivamente inflitti ai detenuti durante il conflitto nordirlandese nell'Irlanda del Nord. Queste cinque tecniche sono state definite come sessioni prolungate nel tempo di costrizioni alla posizione di stress, incappucciamento, esposizione al rumore, privazione del sonno e privazione di acqua e cibo.

  • «Пять методов» (англ. Five techniques) — собирательное название жёстких способов дознания, которые получили скандальную известность в связи с их использованием британскими вооружёнными силами во время конфликта в Северной Ирландии и в сентябре 2003 года во время войны в Ираке. Название «пять методов» произошло от количества основных методик, используемых при работе с допрашиваемым: пытка неудобной позой в виде долговременного стояния у стены (англ. wall standing), сенсорная депривация, акустическая перегрузка слуха белым шумом (англ. subjection to noise), лишение сна, лишение пищи и воды. В настоящее время многие правозащитные организации (Human Rights First и Physicians for Human Rights) рассматривают данные методы как разновидность пытки. (ru)
