Four Pakistanis hanged in Kuwait
2005-12-04
Four Pakistani expatriates in Kuwait were hanged in public in Naif Palace, Kuwait City, on Saturday. Kuwaiti police had arrested them on drug peddling charges, which is punishable by death in Kuwait. The Pakistanis had appealed against their death sentence, but the higher courts, including the Amir’s Apex Court, upheld the death sentence.
"This ain't Peshawar. We're civilized folk in Kuwait. String 'em up!"
The Pakistanis were Syed Mudassar Shah from Charsadda, Muhammad Ahmad Khan from Bara, Faiz Muhammad Umar from Charsadda and Abdul Basar Umar from Swabi. They were publicly hanged at 9am in front of thousands of people.
"Hurry, ma! You'll miss the tumbrels!"

#2  Public hangings are a good thing, and I condemn the United States for declaring it "cruel and unusual punishment". Cruel crimes - aggravated rape, murder, etc. - deserve "cruel" punishment. It would sure do a lot more for deterrence than lethal injection hidden away deep in some prison. Public humiliation in the death of unrepentent criminals would go a long way toward curbing crime. Adding drug pushers and illegal-alien "coyotes" to the list would also help with another of our problems.
