Egypt's executioner tells of his love for his job

Submitted by ACADP on Fri, 01/11/2013 - 10:22am

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

John Chuckman

Some Israelis are fond of comparing Israel’s displacement of Palestinians to the historical experience of North Americans in displacing indigenous people, but the comparison is inaccurate on almost every level. First, comparing events of two hundred years ago and today is misleading: norms of human rights and ethics and law have changed tremendously in that time. Besides, people all over the world see and read of such injustices today, something not possible at an earlier time.
