GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, 2025 Man was sentenced to death by a kangaroo court of the terrorist group Hamas. The sentence was carried out by shooting and was preceded by a brutal beating. All of this happened in public, with the city’s residents gathered in a circle around him, witnessing his suffering and death.
Public executions by Hamas, as well as other terrorist or dictatorial regimes, are carried out fairly often. They have a huge psychological effect on all residents and potential opponents. At the same time, they reinforce the image of uncompromising power.
Most often, those sentenced to death are collaborators with Israel and spies. Also included are opposition members and people who commit serious crimes, such as rape or murder. The courts carried out by Hamas are not fair. They are often short, one-sided, and violate even basic human rights. Hamas attempts to apply law based on a combination of Islamic Sharia law and their own internal rules.
