For Pau de arara, she is led into the chamber and her prison dress is taken away. She is made to sit on the floor with knees bent while her wrists are bound to her ankles. The metal bar is pushed under her knees and the chain fastened. As the chain is pulled upward she rolls onto her back, then her head comes off the floor and she swings to and fro. A microphone is placed on the floor beneath her head. The interrogator begins, “I recommend that you tell me now where your boyfriend is hiding, which will spare you further discomfort.” (Pau de arara, is translated from Portuguese as “Parrot’s Perch." This technique is believed to originate from Portuguese slave traders, who used Pau de arara as punishment for disobedient slaves. More recently it was used by police of the Brazilian military dictatorship against political dissidents in the 1960s and 1970s. The device was often used as a restraint for other tortures, such as electric shock and sexual torment. – Wikipedia) -- source link
