DEATH PENALTY - Execution methods in USA

 

With the guidance of medical experts, the following explains how prisoners are executed in the USA.

In the U.S, lethal injection is by far the most common method of execution and because it is the most frequently used, it is the most 'botched'.

Indonesia - The time for being polite is over !

Amid corruption allegations and political posturing, Indonesia has executed eight people. Two Australians, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, and six other foreigners were gunned down by an Indonesian firing squad in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Forget ISIS, Saudi Arabia routinely Beheads People

 

83 people have been beheaded in Saudi Arabia in 2014, the highest number in five years.

Most were executed for non violent offences including drug smuggling.

Amnesty International says Saudi Arabia has one of the highest execution rates in the world.

There were 79 executions in 2013 and 2012, and 82 in 2011.

The countries that carried out the most executions on record last year were Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the U.S.

China is thought to kill thousands but the figure is a state secret.

Who Supports Israel's Draconian Demolition Policy

 

The government of Israel has decided to restart a policy they haven't used for ten years.

The policy is bizarre and immoral but the Pro Israel lobby in Australia is silent. Why?

They send bulldozers in to demolish the homes owned by family members of terrorists.
