In many places in the world, the methods of giving death penalty are so barbaric that they seem to reflect the extreme mentality of savagery. Human rights advocates continue to criticize capital punishment, but China’s death van and America’s death chamber have been especially discussed in the barbaric death penalty. Apart from this, in recent times, killing by suffocation with nitrogen gas and killing with anti-aircraft gun have also been in discussion.
Earlier this year, Kenneth Eugene Smit was killed for the first time with nitrogen gas. 58 The murderer of the mother-in-law was sentenced to death under a court order by suffocating her with nitrogen gas for 22 minutes. It may seem surprising but this method of giving death penalty has been adopted recently.
But a popular and old method of death penalty is the electric chair, which is still used in some cities of America. Somewhere it is also argued that this is better than killing by injecting poison. At present this method is being used in four states of America.

It is said that in China, death vans roam around the country and wherever someone is sentenced to death, efforts are made to execute it as soon as possible. A similar claim has been made in a report of 2021. These vehicles are like normal police vans but actually function like an execution chamber.
CCTV cameras are installed inside these vehicles and a bed is installed on the wall of the van. In this, the life of the criminal is taken away just like lethal injection. It is said that its use first started in the 1990s. Its biggest advantage is said to be that after the death of the criminal, his body parts can be easily removed and transported.
Although in the world like the army, the method of standing and shooting enemy soldiers is very old, but it is said about North Korea that there anti-aircraft cannon is used to give the death sentence to the criminal in a painful manner. The objective is also to give a lesson to other criminals in the country.
He Yeon Lim, a North Korean defector, claims that he once saw 11 musicians along with about 10 thousand people being blown up by anti-aircraft guns. My heart shuddered after seeing this scene. In another case, it is said that senior officials of dictator Kim Jong Un’s cabinet were put in a torture camp.
