Wow, not only does #japan still carry out #executions by #hanging but they also do them *same day* https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-5917.. That's pretty crazy. Only a few hours to get your #affairs in order! I don't suppose that this 2 year pause in executions wasn't in part due to the #covid #pandemic ... They should seriously consider suspending the practice indefinitely. The #state being able to #decide life or death is pretty dangerous stuff.
