China executes 10 vegetable thieves

Six more people convicted of vegetable robbery between February and July of last year were also executed, it said.

According to Amnesty International, China executed at least 18,000 people in 1990s–more than the rest of the world combined.

Most Chinese executions are carried out with a small-calibre bullet fired into the back of the head, although authorities are experimenting with lethal injections in some regions. ($18.276 Yuan)
