Bastinado demonstration using a cane

Убивание ног , Фаланга/Фалака или Бастинадо - это метод причинения боли и унижения, вводив биение на подошвах босых ног человека. В отличие от большинства видов порки , это значит быть большим для того, чтобы быть болезненным, чем нанести фактическую травму жертве. Удары обычно доставляются с помощью легкого стержня, шнура с завязкой или ресницы.

Бастинадо также называется для ноги (внизу) конькой или единственной конькой , в зависимости от используемого инструмента. Немецкий термин - Бастонада , вытекающая из итальянского существительного Бастонаты ( инсульт с использованием палки ). В прежние времена это также называлось Sohlenstreich (Corr. Удаление подошвы ). Китайский термин Dǎ Jiǎoxīn (打脚心 / 打腳心).

Обзор

Первая четко идентифицированная письменная документация «Бастинадо» в Европе датируется 1537 году, а в Китае - 960. References to bastinado have been hypothesised to also be found in the Bible (Prov. 22:15; Lev. 19:20; Deut. 22:18), suggesting use of the practice since antiquity.

Bastinado was practiced in the Third Reich era. In several German and Austrian institutions it was still practised during the 1950s.

Foot whipping was common practice as means of disciplinary punishment in different kinds of institutions throughout Central Europe until the 1950s, especially in German territories.
In German prisons this method consistently served as the principal disciplinary punishment. Throughout the Nazi era it was frequently used in German penal institutions and labour camps.
It was also inflicted on the population in occupied territories, notably Denmark and Norway.

In Greece, during the Greek junta period, in a 1967 survey 83% of the inmates in Greek prisons reported about frequent infliction of bastinado. It was also used against rioting students. In Spanish prisons 39% of the inmates reported about this kind of treatment. The French Sûreté reportedly used it to extract confessions. The British used it in Palestine, and the French in Algeria. Within Colonial India it was used to punish tax offenders.

Bastinado is still practised in penal institutions of several countries around the world.
