Yemen executes more people than almost any country and many of these executions are public. For instance men who have committed a rape (+abduction & murder at times) are shot five times in the heart (because once doean't suffice?) And hung up from the neck as a warning.
They have been doing this for years. It is the shiite muslims trying to maintain control. However it doesn't seem to have a great effect in reducing such crimes.
Three paedophiles shot and hanged for rape of boy in Yemen | Daily Mail Online
Three paedophiles were publicly shot then hanged from a crane in Yemen yesterday as punishment for raping and killing a ten-year-old boy.
Disturbing pictures show the rapists in blue overalls paraded in front of crowds in the centre of Sana'a, the country's largest city.
They were handcuffed, ordered to lie face down and shot five times in the heart.
The corpses were winched high into the air by a crane where they were left hanging as a grim warning to other potential offenders while onlookers took pictures on mobile phones
Yemen, south of Saudi Arabia, is one of the world's top executors with capital punishment for violent crimes including murder, rape, and terrorism.
The death penalty can also theoretically be used in cases of Islamic or 'Hudud' offences under Sharia law such as adultery, sexual misconduct, sodomy, prostitution, blasphemy and apostasy.
All sentences are carried out by shooting although stoning, hanging, and beheading are also permitted within the Yemeni penal code.
