Cranes are normally used in construction in most countries.But I saw some photos that show Iranians are hanging criminals in pubic with cranes instead of gallows.Is it more painful to the dying criminals to the last moment?Do you know why?
they probably didn't have the proper arrangements to carry out the punishment so they used cranes instead of gallows. who knows? but weird really. and it wouldn't be more painful... err... the purpose is to snap the neck... ouch :(
