Over a four day period in June 1999, Trinidad and Tobago hanged Dole Chadee and eight members of his drugs gang.

 Dole Chadee (born Nankissoon Boodram)

Over a four day period in June 1999, Trinidad and Tobago hanged Dole Chadee and eight members of his drugs gang. 



 Chadee was Trinidad's most notorious murderer, drug lord and gang leader.  He went to the gallows on Friday the 4th of June 1999, at 6 a.m. as the bell pealed at nearby St. Mary's College.  Gang member Joey Ramiah was the next to die. 


And, at 8:44 a.m., it was Ramkalawan Singh's turn.

Three more were hanged on Saturday the 5th, Clive Thomas was being the first, followed by Robin Gopaul and Russel Sankerali, Prisons Commissioner Cipriani


Baptiste said. The men went “without trouble,” he said.


The final three executions were carried out on Monday, the 7th of June 1999.  Joel Ramsingh, Stephen Eversley and Bhagwandeen Singh were put to death within three hours starting at 6 a.m. EDT at the Royal Jail in Port of Spain, Prison Commissioner Cipriani Baptiste said.


The executions were cleared by the Privy Council in London, the highest appeal court for the Caribbean earlier on Friday the 4th of June, their ruling accepting Trinidad's constitutional right to enforce a law that states: "Every person convicted of murder shall suffer death."


Chadee, 47, and his “gang of eight” were convicted in 1996 of killing Hamilton “Mice” Baboolal and three family members in a 1994 drug dispute.  Chadee had allegedly instructed the gunmen to kill the whole family, including two children. They spared the children, but gunned down Baboolal, his sister and his parents. 


After the trial, the key witness against the group was shot, hacked and burned to death as soon as he left protective custody. Chadee was a chief suspect in that slaying, but he was never charged.


Chadee’s 46.5 hectare estate and a number of buildings in the rural village of Piparo, in south central Trinidad, were reclaimed by the authorities, under the amended Dangerous Drugs Act of 1991, after it was discovered that he had been squatting on state land for more than 15 years. The buildings were to be used as a drug rehabilitation centre, a fitting irony!

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

Image
The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and h...

The Execution Of Maria Kislyak By Hanging.

Image
  The Execution Of Maria Kislyak By Hanging. Maria Kislyak was born in March 1925, in the village of Lednoe in the Kharkov region of the Ukraine. The village had been occupied by the Germans during 1943. Maria and her school friend, Fedor Rudenko, who were both Komsomol members, hatched a plan to murder a German officer as an act of revenge for the cruelty inflicted by the Nazis on the local people. The plan was for 18 year old Maria, who was very pretty, to make friends with a German Lieutenant. She suggested to this man that they went for a walk in the countryside to which he naturally agreed. Outside the village, Fedor was waiting for them and came up behind the soldier and hit him over the head with an iron crowbar. Maria was arrested the next day and violently beaten during her interrogations but maintained her innocence throughout. As they could not prove anything, they finally let her go. Several months later, Maria and her friends mur...

In Iran, prisoners report of tortures: «They forced us to rape each other while the guards were filming»

  In Iran, prisoners report of tortures: «They forced us to rape each other while the guards were filming» We spoke to several protesters who had just been released from Iranian prisons, and experienced tortures by guards: «They deprived us of our dignity», one said. «They pushed us to think about suicide», another one reported The voice message comes in Persian. It is four minutes of metallic, monotonous voice. Flowing words alternating with long silences and sighs. We get it translated. «Good morning, I am Ali (fictitious name, ed.), I am 42 years old and a taxi driver». We have been trying to talk to him for a week. We know he just got out of jail, and we know he is one of the few willing to talk about what he has suffered, seen and heard. «I was arrested in front of Isfahan University (in central Iran, ed.) in late October. I was supporting students in the protests against dictator Khamenei». Guards put him into a car and took him to a secret detention center. In addition t...

Artist becomes online celebrity after hanging naked in unsuccessful performance

  Artist becomes online celebrity after hanging naked in unsuccessful performance. A Norwegian artist living in Britain has had an unsuccessful performance turned into a hit online video. Hilde Krohn Huse, 26, decided to go to woodland near her home in Surrey and film her performance as part of an art project. "This was a scene I wanted to include in a video. In my head it was supposed to be very simple: go up, hang, come down and go home," said the artist in an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live. The detail is that the artist would do this naked, in an isolated area, hanging by ropes from a tree branch, without any type of protection. It was a very isolated place, a forest. The closest people were half a mile away." After hanging upside down by her leg for a little over a minute, to get the image that would be part of the project, Hilde tried to free herself from the rope, but the knot around her ankle was too tight. After hanging by her leg to get the image that wo...

Brutality of Syria war casts doubt on peace talks

  Brutality of Syria war casts doubt on peace talks War crimes experts say they have huge cache of photos documenting mass killing by Assad; Syrian FM arrives in Switzerland, says Assad's future a 'red line' In this June 12, 2011 photo during a government-organized tour for media, Syrian army soldiers show reporters dead bodies after they claimed that they are policemen who were killed by gunmen, near the city's Military Police building, in the town of Jisr al-Shughour, north of Damascus, Syria. (photo credit: AP/Bassem Tellawi) Syria’s conflict was sparked by an act of brutality — the detention and torture of schoolchildren who spray-painted anti-government graffiti in a southern city. In the three years since, the conflict has evolved into one of the most savage civil wars in decades. The atrocities have been relentless. Protesters gunned down in the streets. An opposition singer whose vocal cords were carved out. Beheadings and mass sectarian killings. Barrels f...

  WARNING! Graphic Content Below Are Frank Discussion Of Rape, Execution. Not Meant For The Weak. 'Blood oozed through the soil at grave sites. You could see the pits move, some of them were still alive': The secrets of Ukraine's shameful 'Holocaust of Bullets' killing centre where 1.6million Jews were executed . Seventy years on from the end of the Second World War the full, shocking scale of the Nazi-inspired Holocaust in Ukraine is finally being revealed - thanks to pioneering work by a French Catholic priest to research the truth of the industrial-scale killing. Around 2,000 mass graves of Jewish victims have been located where men, women and children were shot and buried by the Germans and their collaborators. But there maybe up to 6,000 more sites to uncover, with victims of this 'Holocaust of bullets' - so called because unlike in Poland and Germany where gas chambers were used as the means of slaughter - here most were summarily shot and buried n...

Sleeping With the Enemy

Image
S leeping With the Enemy As US troops crossed into Germany, General Eisenhower gave his men strict orders to stay away from the locals. But thousands struck up relations with German women, and many of them fathered children they never knew. The official reason for the fraternization ban introduced in September 1944 was to punish German civilians, while maintaining the authority of the occupying forces and protecting them from the insidious force of Nazi propaganda. In fact, it served another, more delicate purpose. After landing in Italy in 1943, the Allied armies had been badly weakened by the rapid spread of venereal disease brought about by the soldiers' contact with prostitutes. American GIs were warned against encounters with local women. But it was to no avail -- in the chaos of the postwar years, GIs and German girls both needed each other. Corned beef and cigarettes In 1945, Christa Ronke was 16 years old and working at an officers' mess hall in southwestern Berli...

  WARNING! PHOTO BELOW ARE NOT MET FOR THE WEAK HEART. Please note: The following subject matter is of immense importance, but could be difficult to read. There is a Frank Discussion Of Rape And Other Atrocities Committed During War. After entering a large museum in one of the world’s most ancient cities and the former capital of the Chinese empire, Nanking—or Nanjing as it’s known today—my 18-year-old daughter Sophia and I walked over a glass walkway that allowed us to look down 10 feet of earth and observe an ancient footpath. Lights highlighted the ground under the glass while the room we were in was dark.  To our right hung numerous photographs on a black wall showing Japanese soldiers slaughtering Chinese citizens in December 1937 revealed by individual lights, the types one sees on art museum paintings. Dead babies, severed heads, piles of bodies on Yangtze River banks, and helpless prisoners of war were all documented there by photographs taken by the perpetrators th...

  Suspected Thief Killed And Hanged . An unidentified man suspected to be a thief, was beaten to death and tied to a tree on the Tema-Afienya road Friday. The naked body of the middle-aged man, revealed bruises, raising suspicion that he was heavily dragged on the ground before being tied to the tree. He had his penis tied with a wire from a mini-advert billboard, while his knees were tied against a bicycle suspected to belong to him. His ankles and wrists were firmly tied to the tree as well. The murdered man smelt of petrol with blood stains on his nose, mouth and right ear, which was almost falling off.
