Atrocities of Amin.....

 


Idi Amin, one of the most evil men to have lived on planet earth killed an estimated 500,000 Human beings. This blog is dedicated to honoring his victims.

The bodies of most of Amin's victims were clandestinely disposed of or mutilated beyond recognition, never to be recovered by their families. 

The vast majority of the victims are unidentifiable for this reason. If your loved one was liquidated put their details in any comments section.

The man being stripped naked is Tom Masaba. Masaba was a former Uganda army captain who was executed by firing squad during Amin's regime. He was accused of being a FRONASA collaborator. FRONASA was the (Front for National Salvation). It was a rebel group headed by Yoweri Museveni in the 1970s. Tom Masaba was killed publicly in Mbale town in 1973.

Tom Masaba is stripped naked before being publicly executed in 1973.

The lifeless body of Masaba after the firing squad

 RIP captain Tom Masaba.

Execution by Elephant Was a Brutal Form of Capital Punishment For 2,000 Years

Image
ephants are one of the smartest and most powerful animals in the world. It is no wonder then that these magnificent beasts were exploited and trained to be brutal executioners.  Death by elephant is a form of capital punishment that has been used for at least 2,000 years, particularly in India, but also in other parts of South and Southeast Asia. Execution by elephant was brutal and terrifying. In India, where this form of capital punishment was known as  gunga rao  , the accused was crushed to death with brute force. But death was not always swift. were under the constant control of a  mahout  (elephant trainer), who forced the animal, through the use of a sharp metal hook, to carry out their commands. Under the control of a mahout, elephants could inflict a slow and torturous death by crushing the convicted person’s limbs one by one and tossing them about the ground, dragging them, or stabbing them with their tusks, before finishing them off by crushing their skull.

The Allure of Execution...

Image
 During the 18th and 19th centuries, it came to be seen as unnatural to be able to watch someone executed, but that has never stopped some people from watching when given the opportunity, and it probably never will.  Executions have always attracted people from all backgrounds: men, women, and children; rich and poor; academic and illiterate.  Individual responses may differ—some will laugh and jeer, others will studiously take notes, some will faint or vomit or cry—and to an extent these responses are culturally determined, but the lesson of history is that it is within our capacity as humans to witness decapitations and other forms of execution and, more than that, to enjoy them as popular public events. For as long as there were public executions, there were crowds to see them. In London in the early 19th century, there might have been 5,000 to watch a standard hanging, but crowds of up to 100,000 came to see a famous felon killed. The numbers hardly changed over the years.
