SANAA (Reuters) - A man convicted of raping and murdering a three-year-old girl was executed in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Monday in front of hundreds of onlookers, the first public execution there since 2009.

"Security was very tight, because authorities were fearing a revenge attack by armed men from the Bani Matar tribe to which the girl's family belong," said Reuters photographer Khaled Abdullah who witnessed the scene.

The police van transporting Muhammad al-Maghrabi, 41, to Sanaa's Tahrir Square was escorted by five police patrol vehicles. The execution drew a large number of onlookers, some perched up telegraph poles and many watching from rooftops.

The crowd started to shout "Allah is the greatest" when Maghrabi arrived.

"The man was escorted from the van to the middle of the square, and then the place turned to a complete chaos and I fought for a position to take pictures," Abdullah said.

"He tried to talk to the executioner, a police officer who was calmly smoking a cigarette as he stood next to him before pointing his AK-47 to his back from a very close distance.

"Soon he fired around four shots, and people realized that it was done, they rushed to the place and tried to take the body, but the police were able to take the body to the van and drove through the crowd out of the square."

Yahya al-Matari, the father of the murder victim, Rana al-Matari, told reporters after the execution he was satisfied.

"This is the first day in my life," he said. "I am relieved now."

Yemen has been devastated by more than two years of civil war between its Saudi-backed government and Houthi fighters who seized parts of the country in 2014 and 2015.

i'd carry the weight of that sin if it was my child he raped, or a child of a loved one...

but that doesn't lessen the weight of the sin of murder.....it still takes a certain kinda person to really go through with that type of public execution.

like who can say with full confidence they could be an executioner and kill people as part of their job.....yes they are murders and child rapist, but you are still charged to execute them when the call comes....

who can say the can truly do that?


again.. if it was my kid....i'd carry that weight......but it's still a weight.....
 
I used to be for the death penalty. But I'm now against it. The Most High doesn't make mistakes, and everything happens for a reason. Our perception of what is good and what is bad is limited to our worldly understanding of our existence. That is not so wirh the most high.

What we may consider justice is subjective, and our emotions can sway our opinion on that subject. I've learned that "divine" justice is the best form IMO.

yea but to expand on that, then why deny the emotions he instilled.

if one seeks revenge, that came from a place... we didn't create that emotion.... so why feel shame for it?

the want for revenge is natural, and god- given.....

as far as the death penalty itself....i am neither for or against...


i sued to be against, cuz i feel there's too much corruption in the government for them to determine a person's fate so directly....

but now i'm more laid back and feel like fuck it.....people gonna do what the wanna do anyway......who's to say i'm not wrong?
 
in theory it is but with man law, nah. the retaliation approach will get muddy when the victim wasn't blameless and the killer was sympathetic.

grey area cases like people killing their abusers who didn't technically hit them that time, but had before and so on.

it sounds nice and it's what I'd want n be tempted to do if a loved one fell victim to foulplay but it isn't black and white enough.

I get what your saying. Why deny emotions instilled in us by the Most High. Feelings of anger and resent for someone committing a crime like this against your child or loved one are only natural. Without turning this into Bible study, there is plenty of instruction for how we SHOULD handle these emotions.

But vengeance is of The Most High.

In a show of faith and adherence, a person following that is placing their trust in God to avenge then.

But whose to say that taking action yourself isnt the Will of TMH?

The only way to answer rhat question is to study...
 
yea, and in study, there have always been exceptions....people were directly told to take vengeance on occasion...

so i mean in the example provided....i still think it's kinda blurry on the whole public execution thing, cuz who really is holding the state responsible for the bloodshed...

i'd much rather take the vengeance myself then pass that burden onto the next man.....

cuz at the end of the day, that executioner is carrying the burden of a murder, that had you taken the life..could possibly be seen as righteous....depending on how deep u wanna get with it..

but yea, i ain't busting out no scripture....

i'm just saying, if niggaz out here raping kids...... let things happen as they may, and we all face judgement at the end......
 
Only if there was a trial and there was no doubt in someone's guilt, then yes.

You have to be absolutely 100% correct because death cannot be undone.
