Rememebr watching Saddam being hanged? Yeh, not pleasant, no matter what you thought of him.

Now, a Japanese radio station has decided to evoke similar emotions by broadcasting audio of a hanging from 50 years ago to open up debate on capital punishment, which was re-introduced there in 1993.

The audio features the victim's final chat with his executioner, which would be creepy as anything, plus the sounds of the trap door opening and all the other moans and groans associated with a person dying.

And all to shock people into thinking about what capital punishment really is ... the killing of a fellow human.
