Egypt's executioner tells of his love for his job

In a revealing interview, Egypt's chief executioner spoke of his childhood hobby that led to his career executing those sentenced to death in the Muslim-majority country. Hajj Abd Al-Nabi, who serves as the chief warrant officer in the Egyptian prison system, claims that he has executed approximately 800 people during his days as chief executioner.

Speaking on television, Al-Nabi said “I have placed the noose around some 800 heads - tough people, big people, young people. All had committed despicable crimes, including adultery, and so on.”

CUTTING THE MIDDLE EAST'S GORDIAN KNOT: WHY ISRAEL CANNOT SURVIVE IN ITS PRESENT

CUTTING THE MIDDLE EAST’S GORDIAN KNOT: WHY ISRAEL CANNOT SURVIVE IN ITS PRESENT FORM

Besides, people all over the world see and read of such injustices today, something not possible at an earlier time.
