  Falaka - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia
A Falaka was originally a Persian instrument of corporal punishment used to immobilize torture victims who would then have the soles of their feet beaten with rods.
Similar to the European concept of stocks, the barefoot offender was made to lie down on their back, their feet fastened to a two-metre pole with a loop in the middle made of either leather or rope.
It is still in use as a method of torture in some countries including Syria and more prominently in Turkey and was brought over from the homeland to various locales inhabited by first generation Turks.

This torture is effective owing to the clustering of nerve endings in the feet, and the structure of the foot, with numerous small bones and tendons.
The feet were often tied together or to a wooden plank (called falaka in Persian, possibly the origin of the tradition in the Near East), and the victim would be made to walk around on his or her damaged feet afterwards, sometimes carrying weights.
