HeadlineDec 20, 2017

In news from China, human rights groups are sounding the alarm after authorities in the southern Guangdong province held a public trial for 12 accused drug dealers before sentencing 10 of them to be put to death immediately. Thousands of residents of the city of Lufeng looked on from a local sports stadium during Saturday’s spectacle, which saw prisoners paraded through the streets ahead of the executions. It was the third time that death sentences have been carried out publicly since June.
