One story relates how, while Nicholas was visiting a remote part of his diocese, several citizens from Myra arrived with the news that, in his absence, the ruler of the city, Eustathius, had condemned three innocent men to death. Nicholas set out immediately for home. Reaching the outskirts of the city, he asked those he met on the road if they knew what had happened to the prisoners. Informed that their execution was to be carried out that morning, he hurried to the executioner's field, where he found a large crowd of people and the three men kneeling with their arms bound behind them, awaiting the blow of the sword. Nicholas passed through the crowd, took the sword from the executioner's hands and threw it to the ground, ordering that the condemned men be freed from their bonds. Later the ruler sought the saint’s forgiveness. Only after a period of public repentance did Nicholas absolve him.

I layed my life down for peace, never to harm another human being, and yet it's the soldiers of peace that get shot.
We are all just like Toy Soldiers
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can't handle unless
I absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it

Christopher Newton's execution was previously scheduled for February 27th, but newly elected Governor Strickland postponed the execution, along with those of two other inmates, so he could review their cases to consider clemency. The first of the three, James Filiaggi, was executed in April.
Outside the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, Death Penalty abolitionists erect signs mourning the impending death of Newton and the death of his victim, Jason Brewer and calling for prayers for the souls of both, as well as their families.
This is where convicted pirates were hanged.Their bodies were chained to a post at low tide and left there until three tides had washed over them,
The execution wall between blocks 10 & 11 at Auschwitz - block 11 held cells (the lower windows) where up to a 100 people were crammed in to rooms & not given anything to eat or drink. It also contained tiny 4 people standing cells where people were held. I found the lower block rooms in block 11 to be really sad, dark, depressive & the people held there would have heard the executions on the other side of the wall ....

By kind permission of the Royal Parks Department, the King’s Army Annual March and Parade will again follow the route taken by Charles I from St James Palace on the Mall to the place of his untimely death at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London. This event is an established part of the London calendar and has followed a similar format now for forty years. The parade assembles from 11am outside St James Palace on The Mall and marches to form up on Horse Guards Parade, a considerable privilege for an organisation such as ourselves, from where a wreath is carried across Whitehall and placed at the execution site. A short service follows and awards and commissions are conferred on deserving members of the King’s Army.
The bolshevik party introduced the cheka, a secret police force, that could now execute someone without trial. Lenin used this to execute anyone that opposed him or presented a threat to the bolshevik party. In the Russian civil war it is believed that the cheka executed more than 200,000 people that presented a "threat" to Lenin or the party.
The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (Khmer: សារមន្ទីរឧក្រិដ្ឋកម្មប្រល័យពូជសាសន៍ទួលស្លែង) is a museum in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, chronicling the Cambodian genocide. The site is a former high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 (S-21) by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979. Tuol Sleng (Khmer [tuəl slaeŋ]) means "Hill of the Poisonous Trees" or "Strychnine Hill". Tuol Sleng was only one of at least 150 execution centers in the country, and as many as 20,000 prisoners there were later killed.
Some of the more famous Tower prisoners were executed within the Inner Ward of the Tower. There were fewer spectators here, on Tower Green, than for those executions held just north of the Tower on Tower Hill, but there could still be a couple hundred people viewing the "private" execution. Lower-class prisoners who were executed at Tower Hill were usually hanged; beheading was reserved for higher-class or high-profile prisoners. The seven on this sign were all beheaded for treason.
The last person executed at the Tower was Josef Jakobs, a German spy, in 1941 by firing squad.
