China firing squad photos prompt calls for more executions
8th May 2009
A woman government official is dragged from a lorry to the execution ground, made to kneel in the snow and then shot in the head, her last moments recorded in a set of photographs that have caused a sensation in China.
“Woman government official”. Hm. I’m thinking Nancy Pelosi, here.
However, rather than eliciting sympathy, the 30-year-old pictures have prompted calls for more executions of corrupt officials in modern China.
I certainly understand the feeling.
