Executions on Hold ‘for the Wrong Reasons’
Ashfaq Yusufzai
PESHAWAR: The execution of three Taliban men ordered by the courts has been kept on hold - not because the Pakistani government opposes the death penalty but because it fears the Taliban, political leaders say.
The Rieme-Oostakker Place of Execution is the place in the Ghent district of Oostakker where 66 resistance fighters were executed by the Naxi occupation force between February 8, 1943 and August 24, 1944.
This memory is also kept alive the 20 resistance fighters who were killed on the execution site at Rieme . That site was destroyed in 1998 during the construction of the Kluizendok of Ghent Port.
The executions were carried out in secret and the victims were buried anonymously. Some of the resistance fighters killed in Rieme was found in a mass grave in Hechtel.
Moreover, there were German soldiers and Belgian criminals also shot. Because of these circumstances, it is still unclear how many people were killed. After the Liberation the mass grave was uncovered in Oostakker. The victims were identified and buried in their hometowns.
The crosses on the ground thus have a symbolic meaning. Nevertheless, the execution place is a cemetery since in 1952 the remains of 15 decapitated West Flemish political prisoners were moved here from their graves in Munich.
On the grounds is a railway carriage which carried hundreds of Belgians to concentration camps in Germany and Poland. In 1966 the execution place gained the status of a protected landscape.

Savonarola, a Dominican friar, was instrumental in creating a popular republic in Florence after the Medici family was expelled. He was an ascetic, very much against sin and objects that might facilitate sin, and he organised a bonfire of the vanities in 1497. He was excommunicated in 1497 and in 1498 public opinion turned against him. He was arrested and burnt at the stake.
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.
Father Kookoothe takes a moment to speak with Connie Weaver of Lucasville. Weaver is a supporter of the Death Penalty and often attends in the parking lot, separate from the abolitionists, during executions. It is not unusual for supporters of Capital Punishment to be in attendance.

At 10:40 AM, there has still been no word from inside the prison that the execution is done. Everyone knows something has gone wrong, but no one knows what at this point.
While the demonstrators maintain a prayerful silence, a bell is rung. After 40 minutes, Dr. Carl Hyde of Yellow Springs is the third person to take a turn ringing the bell.
