Criticism of the execution poured in from around the world from organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the European Union and Amnesty International. “He was writhing and clearly suffering,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the U.N. Human Rights Office, at a U.N. briefing in Geneva. “Rather than looking for novel, untested methods to execute people, let’s just bring an end to the death penalty. This is an anachronism that doesn’t belong in the 21st century.”
The diplomatic service of the European Union issued a statement: “According to leading experts, this method is a particularly cruel and unusual punishment,” The 27-nation EU and the Geneva-based U.N. rights office assert the death penalty violates the right to life and does not deter crime.
I thought because nitrogen was inert you’re not supposed to feel like you’re suffocating, you just lose consciousness and die in a sleep state. Did they not use nitrogen?
They did, but the yokels didn’t pump out the CO2 so he still got to experience all the horrifying air hunger and panic from the CO2 buildup.
There is no way these magat sadists weren’t going to extract every ounce of torture from this method. I’m sure they also happened to be incompetent.
oh shit
