Amnesty International reports that the graphic footage of the execution of 3 men in Kermanshah, highlights the brutalisation of both the condemned and those who watch executions. The video shows the three men standing on top of buses as guards drape ropes fixed to a bridge overhead around their necks, before a crowd of onlookers including children.
In the video, numerous people are seen photographing or filming the execution.
Amnesty says that not only those executed, but all those who watch public executions, including, children, are brutalised and degraded by the experience.
These public displays of killing perpetuate a culture of acceptance of violence and bloodlust, rather than a belief in justice.
