ELEVEN convicted criminals were executed in China today after being paraded in a stadium where the rejections of their appeals were publicly read out, state media said.
The death sentences for armed robbery, murder, aggravated assault and procuring were pronounced by the intermediate people’s tribunal in the eastern town of Wenzhou, according to the town’s municipal website.
One of the men, Chen Yongfeng, a 21-year-old villager, was found guilty of murdering 10 rubbish collectors in the rich coastal city, the website said.
Zhao Airong, 35, a migrant from central Hubei province, used rat poison to kill his partner’s ex-lover. His girlfriend was given a two year stay of execution.
The condemned men had all lodged appeals but they were rejected by the High Court of Zhejiang.
Last month, a Chinese deputy estimated that up to 10,000 executions a year were carried out in China. Many are not made public.

You are allowed a quota of babies. Any more, and they kill them inside you – or on the way out. Can’t do that once they touch the floor though, so they turn on you instead…

“Doesn’t matter, Pla. It’s just barbaric.”
and i supose we should just give ppl who make a living out of kidnapping and sell women off to a life of oppresion and misery a few years in prison so they can make a few friends and get back to business as usual when they are let out?:rolleyes:
i supose corrupt officals who give contracts to their friends and family so that they can use substandard material to build damns that burst when the flood waters come and bridges that collapse under a little bit of extra weight is put on it at the cost of many lives should be only punished with a few years in prison?:rolleyes:
china is still largely a poor country, and poor and desperate ppl sometimes do things citizens of more richer countries would not think off.

“So if they are executing 10,000 a year and only publicising the mass murderers and (possibly) one-off poisoners, what did those who are shot but we don’t hear about do?
it only says that some are not publicised, meaning ppl dont read about in the papers, but the number is still added to the total count.

It is. Just been there playing golf.
It’s a shame countries such as the UK doesn’t hand out sentences like China, then maybe they wouldn’t have so much crime.

Over population problem? Who said anything about an over population problem…?:rolleyes:
