Caught on camera: Iran executionThe convicted men are literally forced to “walk it out” before the nooses tighten around their necks and robs them of their life breath. The Middle East arm of Amnesty International has denounced the public executions of the three Iranian men convicted of rape and sentenced to hang by bus. The 26-second video clip was reportedly shot last week in Azadi Square, in the western city of Kermanshah, as onlookers took pictures. Thank goodness America is more humane when it comes to executing our criminals. Last night, an Atlanta judge allowed a video crew to film the execution of a death row inmate who was convicted of stabbing his parents and teenage sister to death in 1993. Thursday’s execution of Andrew Grant DeYoung was the first in the U.S. to be video recorded since the early 1990s. The recording of DeYoung’s execution was requested by another Georgia death row inmate to be used as evidence in a lawsuit condemning Georgia’s revised 3-step lethal injection procedure.
