Hangmen wanted

Post by Black Orchid » Thu Mar 07, 2019 10:50 am

Here's one for you Bobby!! Fancy living in Sri Lanka?
A Sri Lankan advert for hangmen has attracted more than 100 applicants as the country pushes ahead with a plan to reintroduce the death penalty for drug offences.

Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said last year he wanted to resume hangings after a decades-long hiatus.

The government began advertising last month.

The hard line policy is in part inspired by the Philippines’ war on drugs, where thousands have died in encounters with police.

Thushara Upuldeniya, a spokesman for the prison service, said 102 people applied for the position of executioner after a newspaper ad called for applicants with “excellent moral character” and “mental strength”.

Drug trafficking is a capital offence in Sri Lanka although no one has been executed for any crime in the country since 1976 when all death penalties were commuted to life in prison.

Sri Lanka’s last hangman quit in 2014 without ever having to execute anyone, citing stress after seeing the gallows for the first time.

Another hired last year never turned up for work.
