Iran : deux amputations programmées

Récemment, le régime des mollahs, alors qu’il espérait une entente avec les Américains, avait demandé à ses médias de ne plus diffuser les nouvelles relatives aux pendaisons ou aux flagellations.

Depuis peu, il est revenu à ses habitudes, notamment pour intimider la population en annonçant les pendaisons et aussi les amputations. [iran-resist.org] avait ainsi évoqué le 11 novembre deux verdicts d’amputations pour des voleurs ; le régime annonce deux autres verdicts contre des voleurs récidivistes.

Le premier se nomme Mohammad-Reza. C'est un drogué. Il a été arrêté pour "attitude suspecte" par des miliciens en patrouille, qui ont découvert plusieurs paires de chaussures chez lui et quelques billets. L’enquête aurait permis de démontrer que les chaussures avaient été volées : il aura les quatre doigts de la main droite sectionnés par une petite guillotine fabriquée en Angleterre sur les indications des mollahs.

Le second cas est encore plus pénible. Un jeune soldat volait des sacs de riz dans les caves des immeubles des quartiers aisés. Il a été pris sur le fait, suite à plusieurs plaintes déposées contre un voleur habillé en soldat. Pour sa défense, il a déclaré qu’il ne prenait que du riz et aucun objet de valeur, du riz uniquement pour sa fiancée. Il est passible d’une amputation de la main à la hauteur du coude (sans anesthésie).

Florida | After nearly 50 years on death row, Tommy Zeigler seeks final chance at freedom

The Winter Garden Police chief was at a party on Christmas Eve 1975 when he received a phone call from his friend Tommy Zeigler, the owner of a furniture store on Dillard Street. “I’ve been shot, please hurry,” Zeigler told the chief as he struggled for breath. When police arrived at the store, Zeigler, 30, managed to unlock the door and then collapsed “with a gaping bullet hole through his lower abdomen,” court records show. In the store, detectives found a gruesome, bloody crime scene and several guns. Four other people — Zeigler’s wife, his in-laws and a laborer — lay dead.

Singapore executes three drug mules over two days

Singapore hanged three people for drug offences last week, bringing the total number of executions to 17 this year - the highest since 2003. These come a week before a constitutional challenge against the death penalty for drug offences is due to be heard. Singapore has some of the world's harshest anti-drug laws, which it says are a necessary deterrent to drug crime, a major issue elsewhere in South East Asia. Anyone convicted of trafficking - which includes selling, giving, transporting or administering - more than 15g of diamorphine, 30g of cocaine, 250g of methamphetamine and 500g of cannabis in Singapore will be handed the death sentence.

Afghanistan | Two Sons Of Executed Man Also Face Death Penalty, Says Taliban

He said Mangal was accused of killing members of a family.

Oklahoma board recommends clemency for inmate set to be executed next week

A voting board in Oklahoma decided Wednesday to recommend clemency for Tremane Wood, a death row inmate who is scheduled to receive a lethal injection next week at the state penitentiary in McAlester. Wood, 46, faces execution for his conviction in the 2001 murder of Ronnie Wipf, a migrant farmworker, at an Oklahoma City hotel on New Year's Eve, court records show. The recommendation was decided in a 3-2 vote by the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, consisting of five members appointed by either the governor or the state's top judicial official, according to CBS News affiliate KWTV. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Sitt will consider the recommendation as he weighs whether to grant or deny Wood's clemency request, which would mean sparing him from execution and reducing his sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Louisiana death row inmate freed after nearly 30 years as overturned conviction upends case

A Louisiana man who spent nearly 30 years on death row walked out of prison Wednesday after a judge overturned his conviction and granted him bail. Jimmie Duncan, now in his 60s, was sentenced to death in 1998 for the alleged rape and drowning of his girlfriend’s 23-month-old daughter, Haley Oliveaux — a case long clouded by disputed forensic testimony. His release comes months after a state judge ruled that the evidence prosecutors used to secure the conviction was unreliable and rooted in discredited bite-mark analysis.
