I could totally make a better one. I could do it with a few bits of scaffolding, a knife, a couple of inner tubes and other household bits and pieces.

It looks a little over engineered and rather unsanitary.

I want to put my penis in it.

I'm sure they'd let you have a go.

Yup, for visiting unmarried women.

Oooooooooooo K

I read that they used this:



What I know for sure is, that it is done publicly.

Did you know that for the death penalty they simply use a fleet of trucks with cranes?
They drive from town to town with it and where it happens to be they execute the entire death row.

But not with the usual hanging.
If you hang someone like we use to do in the west, you let the body fall one meter with a rope arrounf the neck, which snaps the spine causing instant death (still done in Japan)
In Iran, the rope is put arround the neck, the other end fixed on the crane and the victim is slowly lifted in the air.
This way death can take up to 30 minutes, the victims struggles for air and the rope sometimes even cuts through the throat:



And when stonings are done, the victim is burried up to the shoulders so stones can be directly fired onto the head.

I am still a boy, I just can't watch this shit.

Mahmoud Amiry-Moghaddam, a human rights activist with Iran Human Rights based in Norway told France 24: “What is surprising about this is that not only was this a public amputation, but that photos of it were distributed by official press agencies, and that they showed a machine that we had until yet never seen images of.”

His assessment is that the photos were intentionally posted as a warning to those who intend to launch protests leading up to the Iranian elections in June. “I believe this is a strategy to instil fear in the population so as to avoid any protests,” he said.

Hope it wont be such a massacre like last time

I am not entire sure why these are less civilized than "old Sparky" or stainless steel gas chambers with one way mirror viewing ports.
