Hanging is killing a person by suspending them from the neck with a noose or ligature. Hanging has been a common method of capital punishment since the Middle Ages, and is the primary execution method in numerous countries and regions. The first known account of execution by hanging is in Homer's Odyssey.[1] nging is also a method of suicide.

Methods of judicial hanging

There are numerous methods of hanging in execution which instigate death either by cervical fracture or by strangulation.

Shot drop
Execution of guards and kapos of the Stutthof concentration camp on 4 July 1946 by short-drop hanging. In the foreground are the female overseers: Jenny-Wanda Barkmann, Ewa Paradies, Elisabeth Becker, Wanda Klaff, Gerda Steinhoff (left to right).


The short drop is a method of hanging in which the condemned prisoner stands on a raised support such as a stool, ladder, cart, or other vehicle, with the noose around the neck. The support is then moved away, leaving the person dangling from the rope.


Suspended by the neck, the weight of the body tightens the noose around the neck, effecting strangulation and death. Loss of consciousness is typically rapid and death ensues in a few minutes


Before 1850, the short drop was the standard method of hanging, and it is still common in suicides and extrajudicial hangings (such as lynchings and summary executions) which do not benefit from the specialised equipment and drop-length calculation tables used in the newer methods.

Pole method

 Mass execution of Serbs by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1916


A short-drop variant is the Austro-Hungarian "pole" method, called Würgegalgen (literally: strangling gallows), in which the following steps take place:


The condemned is made to stand before a specialized vertical pole or pillar, approximately 3 metres (9.8 ft) in height.


A rope is attached around the condemned's feet and routed through a pulley at the base of the pole.


The condemned is hoisted to the top of the pole by means of a sling running across the chest and under the armpits.


A narrow-diameter noose is looped around the prisoner's neck, then secured to a hook mounted at the top of the pole.


The chest sling is released, and the prisoner is rapidly jerked downward by the assistant executioners via the foot rope.


The executioner stands on a stepped platform approximately 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) high beside the condemned. The executioner would place the heel of his hand beneath the prisoner's jaw to increase the force on the neck vertebrae at the end of the drop, then manually dislocate the condemned's neck by forcing the head to one side while the neck vertebrae were under traction.


This method was later also adopted by the successor states, most notably by Czechoslovakia, where the "pole" method was used as the single type of execution from 1918 until the abolition of capital punishment in 1990. Nazi war criminal Karl Hermann Frank, executed in 1946 in Prague, was among approximately 1,000 condemned people executed in this manner in Czechoslovakia

Standard drop

 The execution of Henry Wirz in 1865 near the U.S. Capitol; Wirz was given a standard drop, which did not break his neck


The standard drop involves a drop of between 4 and 6 feet (1.2–1.8 m) and came into use from 1866, when the scientific details were published by Irish doctor Samuel Haughton. Its use rapidly spread to English-speaking countries and those with judicial systems of English origin.


It was considered a humane improvement on the short drop because it was intended to be enough to break the person's neck, causing immediate unconsciousness and rapid brain death.

This method was used to execute condemned Nazis under United States jurisdiction after the Nuremberg Trials, including Joachim von Ribbentrop and Ernst Kaltenbrunner.

[not specific enough to verify] In the execution of Ribbentrop, historian Giles MacDonogh records that: "The hangman botched the execution and the rope throttled the former foreign minister for 20 minutes before he expired."A Life magazine report on the execution merely says: "The trap fell open and with a sound midway between a rumble and a crash, Ribbentrop disappeared. The rope quivered for a time, then stood tautly straight."

Hangings continue despite please After more than three lonely and agonising years on death row, Behnam Zarei, a 19-year-old Iranian, was led to the gallows and hanged behind the high walls of Adelabad prison in the southern city of Shiraz.

THIS WAS HOW CRUEL WERE THE JAPANESE IN WW2

Image
Very cruel. They literally had a game, where they tossed Chinese babies in the air and impaled them on their bayonets. Japanese soldiers had this game wherein the one who killed the most civillians in one night, won. The rapes, tortures and murders of men, women, elders and infants were unprecedented in modern history. Even the Germans didn’t engage in the kind of mass-civillian torture like the Japanese did. (The Germans were generally considered more evil though, because they denied an entire ‘race’ the basic right to exist and killed them with industrial efficiency, the epitome of emptiness and lack of any empathy) The Rape of Nanking, as it is called, was one of the worst atrocities in human history. Nanking was at that time the capital of China. The massacre the Japanese inflicted on the citizens of that city is beyond belief and any comprehension. I will not include any pictures here, because they are too disturbing, but they are available on Google Images. However I don’t recomm

German women were raped by all armies at the end of the second world war.... Daily Brutality...

From the archive, 17 June 1955: Berlin woman's memoir of mass rape reviewed Controversial book suggests many Berlin women were raped by drunken Red Army soldiers during the second world war Observer, 19 June 2005: When rape was a spoil of war Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. A Woman in Berlin (Secker and Warburg, pp. 284, 15s) tells the story of a single German woman of middle-class family, living in the Neu-Kölln district of Berlin. This district has nothing much in common - as the publishers suggest - with Bloomsbury or Bayswater.  It is the

The Brutality Execution " UN Rights Council Decries Surge in Iran Executions"

Image
The U.N. Human Rights Council denounced Tuesday the rising numbers of executions in Iran, including of people who received the capital punishment in connection with protests that have rocked the country. The top United Nations rights body approved a resolution voicing "deep concern at the reported surge in the number of executions, including of individuals sentenced to death in relation to their alleged involvement in the recent protests." The resolution, which also extended the mandate of the U.N. special rapporteur on the rights situation in Iran for another year, passed with 23 of the council's 47 members voting in favor. Another 16 abstained, and eight opposed the text, including China, Cuba, Pakistan and Vietnam. Iran's ambassador Ali Bahreini took the floor to slam the resolution as a "weaponization of human rights as a foreign policy tool." The resolution echoed strong international condemnation over the country's crackdown on the protest movement

Vietnam is considering the resumption of execution by firing squad because of problems getting chemicals for lethal injections, according to state media. The Laborer newspaper quoted the minister of public security, Tran Dai Quang, asking the national assembly to allow the use of firing squads until the end of 2015, along with execution by lethal injection. CLICK HERE TO WATCH OUR LEAK SEX VIDEO In 2011, the country decided to switch from firing squads to lethal injection on humanitarian grounds, but only seven prisoners have been executed since August after a long delay as it struggled to obtain needed chemicals.

They said the man attacked his wife after catching her with another man. And no, it didn’t happen in Nigeria. Continue to see more photos... And the neighbours gladly watched on? Ha! that's so bad! Maybe they were all fed up with the woman's attitude, but that shouldn't justify their watching on as the man disgraces her and beat her up in public....
