It’s still shocking that death penalty still exists in Belarus

Fun fact:Â
Norway changed the law allowing for the death penalty only to kill off one traitor during WW2 and after they criminalised the death penalty again. Â
Today Quisling(name of traitor) means traitor in English and norwegian

I know this is a highly unpopular opinion, and im ready for the downvotes, but can we get any of these back?

Wish I could upvote this twice, sometimes it feels like Europe is the only civilsed place on Earth. Shithole nations like the USkkkA and Ruzzia should be embargoed and sanctioned until they learn how to be civilised.

Out of all the methods in this map, the guillotine is pretty much the most painless one.

No death penalty in Germany since 1949. Edit: Was GDR.

I don’t get why the US doesn’t use a firing squad or hanging too? All their last attempts (injections, gas chamber, electric chair) have been pretty messy and gruesome.

In the UK, because of the different laws in different constituent countries, someone was actually given a death sentence for murder in Northern Ireland in 1973, despite capital punishment being abolished for murder in most of the UK.
However, the UK Home Secretary at the time decided it would be unpopular and politically difficult to carry it out, and it was commuted to a life sentence in prison.
His conviction was later canceled, as he had been tortured into confessing, so the UK came quite close to its last execution being of an innocent man, about a decade after everyone thought the death sentence had been abolished….

Spain’s method is wrong. It was by “garrote vil”, some sort of neck breaking if done well, suffocation if done wrong.

Fun fact, the last execution in Romania was actually the President at that time (Nicolae Ceaușescu)

Iceland just chilling up there with its beheading 😂
Interesting. I thought the electric chair and lethal injection was more common, but i guess its more of a US thing.
The last peacetime execution in Finland was in 1825 when [Tahvo Putkonen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahvo_Putkonen) was beheaded.
What the hell does firearm mean?
