One Iran, one Kuwait... both great pix.
It's a shame Kuwait hangings are all hooded: would be interesting to see the same scenarios without hoods.
These, and the vintage ones previously, are just a teaser for the next few lots...
Enjoy.
What's happening with his feet in the second one? A bandage on one foot... and is that strings on the other.... or is he pissing himself? Not clear in the pic.
Iran have sick laws. I would not like in these country. Many people are executed unfairly. Poor people. these are things I lose sleep
As always: a bonus set until next time. ;-)
Am on the case to find the hangings for the prisoners in image 1 and 2. :-O
Hope you've enjoyed today's 10 new batches of images.
I am against the death penalty; I am pro human rights; I am for gay rights; I deplore the execution of women, gay men, and children in Iran... and all human beings there and anywhere. But I look at the pictures of executions in iran, Kuwait, Syria and elsewhere – eg China.
I find nothing fascinating, personally, about suicide images: they are truly tragic and sad. But the spectacle of public hangings and executions – with all they entail, the ritual, the supplication, and the physical effects on the victims – fascinate me. They are a normal part of life in many countries: horrifying though this may be to me, and to us.
Interestingly – if you look at many of the pictures of Iranian hangings in particular – the victims often seem relaxed, smiling sometimes, apparently unconcerned by what is happening to them. They rarely look frightened. They seem to accept it in many cases. Perhaps, because it is a part of their culture: no fear of death.
And while we might find it horrifying, or barbaric, if public hangings took place in, for example, London, hundreds of thousands of people would go and see it as entertainment, just as they did in the Middle Ages right up until the 1800s. That idea horrifies me – but it is a fact.
Last batch of hangings for today.
Again, apologies for the random order and watermarks.
Hope you've enjoyed these 9 new batches of execution images....
As always, the best ones added to the Hanging group.
