I bet those people that watched will think twice before committing rape.

There's not less crime in countries where there's the deadth penalty...

Absolutely true.

It's a bit weird... guess all humans don't act logically...

Could be because it isn't used enough.

Graphic new video footage of a public hanging in Iran this week highlights the brutalisation of both the condemned and those who watch executions, Amnesty International said today.  

The video provided to Amnesty International was shot on 19 July, and shows the execution by hanging of three men in Azadi Square in the city of Kermanshah.  The men had been convicted of rape.

The three men are shown standing on top of buses as guards drape ropes fixed to a bridge overhead around their necks, before a crowd of onlookers including children.  

The crimes for which the men were condemned and the execution is announced over a loudspeaker, then the buses are driven away

I think Nigeria has just outlawed homosexuality---fines or jail could be the punishment...some African countries are calling for executions...I wonder how that is going to play out in a backwater part of a (insert African country)---especially with the rise in killings of albinos in Tanzania
