Wonder if he really did it. In a lot of third world countries it's easy to get rid of an opponent by accusing them of something knowing the third world justice system will do the rest of the job.

Re: Public Execution of Yahya al-Raghwah, Sana'a, Yemen 2009
This is what Yemen Execution look like. It’s a public event with hundreds of spectators, the convict is laid on the ground face down, then the executioner stands above him and holds machine gun in the same way 4 year olds hold squirt guns and fires a few shots executing the convict without must mess. On one hand it makes sense as face of the dying man is not exposed to the public during the last seconds of his life and brain matter doesn’t go flying to feed seagulls in the air. Yehya Hussein al-Raghwah worked as a barber in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen. He was found guilty of raping and then murdering an 11 year old boy Hamdi al-Kabas who came to his barber shop for a haircut for Eid – the Muslim festival. I don’t know what kind of interrogation methods the police utilize in Yemen, but Yehya Hussein al-Raghwah confessed to rape and murder of an 11 year old boy whom he hacked into pieces. Lots of pedophiles in this world. There are 59 countries in the world that still practice the capital punishment. The execution of Yehya Hussein al-Raghwah Yemen’s nineth execution this year, making them one of the most prolific users of death penalty (according to Amnesty International). Yemen is not particularly known for upholding the human rights so whether Yehya Hussein al-Raghwah received a fair trial is questionable (as is questionable whether he really did rape and murder that 11 year old Hamdi al-Kabas). |
