Execution Dock was near the shoreline at Wapping and was used for over 400 years to execute pirates, smugglers and mutineers. Captain William Kidd is probably the most famous pirate to meet his death there in 1701. His corpse was put into a gibbet, a metal framed cage, and was left hanging at Tilbury Docks for 3 years. With the last execution in 1830, the exact location of Execution Dock is not known today but it’s claimed to be in the area where two pubs stand, the Prospect of Whitby and the Town of Ramsgate with the latter being the most likely. Round the back of the Prospect of Whitby there is a gallows with a noose hanging from it commemorating the location of Execution Dock.
Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.

Presentato presso la sede di Luiss Business School il rapporto “Next Generation Italia – Execution” realizzato dal Centro Economia Digitale. Il Direttore Paolo Boccardelli: «La vera urgenza è un piano Marshall sul capitale umano»
From the exhibition catalog: "Hrair Sarkissian's series Execution Squares depicts public execution squares in three Syrian cities -- Aleppo, Lattakia, and Damascus. Taking in the early morning hours, the time the executions usually take plae, the quiet images reveal a fragile paradox that exists between the beauty and constancy of the physical environment and the political and social realities that they obscure."
(The installation consisted of 12 Lambada prints mounted on aluminum; work is dated 2008.)
Judith and her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes, c.1623-5
Artemisia Gentileschi
This magnificent painting is the pinnacle of Artemisia's response to the powerful naturalism, bold use of colour and dramatic lighting effects made popular by Caravaggio and his followers. Here, by the light of a single candle, Judith and her maidservant prepare to make their escape from the enemy camp under cover of darkness. The monumental scale of this canvas and the figures' theatrical gestures contrast with the claustrophobic intimacy of Artemisia's earlier rendition of the subject.

From Artemisia
(October 2020 to January 2021)
"I will show Your Illustrious Lordship what a woman can do"
In 17th-century Europe, at a time when women artists were not easily accepted, Artemisia was exceptional. She challenged conventions and defied expectations to become a successful artist and one of the greatest storytellers of her time.
Artemisia painted subjects that were traditionally the preserve of male artists and for the male gaze; transforming meek maidservants into courageous conspirators and victims into survivors.
In this first major exhibition of Artemisia’s work in the UK, see her best-known paintings including two versions of her iconic and viscerally violent ‘Judith beheading Holofernes’; as well as her self portraits, heroines from history and the Bible, and recently discovered personal letters, seen in the UK for the first time.

Just one girl from the thousands of photos displayed in Tuol Sleng
Holocaust Museum near Phenom Penh, Cambodia. Around 18,000-20,000
people pased though the Tuol Sleng detention centre where they were
photographed before being tortured and executed. 7 people survived.
We will never know what this particular girl's "crimes" were. She
looks kind of smart as well as dignified and composed in the face of
death. Maybe her father could read and write: enough for the whole
family to be executed as "intellectuals".
Our investigations into non-recent child sexual exploitation are ramping up with five suspects arrested in relation to reports of abuse in Oldham between 2011 and 2014.
Detectives in our dedicated CSE Major Incident Team have been working closely with the survivors at the centre of these cases, gathering evidence and intelligence, with unwavering determination to bring child abusers to justice.
This action involved the execution of five warrants simultaneously at addresses in Oldham, Tameside, and Manchester.
These offences follow a disclosure from an Oldham survivor that forms part of a complex and wide-ranging investigation codenamed ‘Operation Sherwood’ which draws on our effective partnership with Oldham Council.
We have previously arrested six suspects as part of this investigation. They were placed on police bail with significant child protection conditions to adhere to, whilst our investigation continues.
The five men arrested this morning remain in custody for questioning.
The suspects are not necessarily all linked, but they collectively relate to four survivors we are supporting.
Assistant Chief Constable Steph Parker, lead for Protecting Vulnerable People, said: “The survivors at the centre of these cases have placed their trust in the GMP of today, and have the confidence to support prosecutions, which we hold to the highest regard.
“We are working closely with them, while they receive tailored support from partnership agencies, moving forward at a pace and in a manner that is right for them.
“Our investigative teams are piecing together all the evidence and taking robust action as soon as we can. Bringing child abusers to justice is why our detectives work so tirelessly day-in day-out. It’s essential we get this right and build strong case files to present the best possible case in court.
“We are now making significant strides in our pursuit and activity is only going to continue ramping up. We will not allow time to be a barrier to justice and any abusers in Oldham or beyond should be warned that we are coming for them.”
If you or someone you know has been raped or sexually assaulted, we encourage you not to suffer in silence and report it to the police, or a support agency so you can get the help and support available.
