These practices have been documented in dozens of cases of "extraordinary rendition" carried out by the CIA, as well as in prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan. This Physological torture tactic is called Sensoery Deprivation.

Maher Arar (born 1970) is a telecommunications engineer with dual Syrian and Canadian citizenship who resides in Canada. Arar's story is frequently referred to as "extraordinary rendition" but the U.S. government insisted it was a case of deportation. He was kept in solitary confidement for two weeks in the US, and then flown to Syria where he was tortured for over a year. He is now back in Canada with an apology and compensation. Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr (born 18 March 1963), also known as Abu Omar, is an Egyptian cleric. In 2003 he was living in Milan, Italy, from where he was kidnapped and allegedly later tortured in Egypt.
