broadcast executions
A Bangkok, Thailand, prison has announced plans to broadcast
live video of death row prisoners' final moments over the
Internet, the BBC reported Monday.
Rights group Amnesty International has said the plan is an
infringement of human rights. The group has called on Thai
authorities to the plan.
A spokesman for Bangkwang prison said the videos will
highlight the risks of drug dealing, a capital offense, and
other crimes. Nearly 1,000 of Thailand's 6,000 prisoners are
on death row.

over the internet?
