25. But ONLY Iranian executions
China's outrageous public massacres are never mentioned by the Wall Street Pravda.
If US corporate profits are at stake, our media easily ignores the situation:

China 'outstrips world' on executions

China executed more people in the last three months than the rest of the world did in the past three years, the human rights group Amnesty International says.
"The campaign is nothing short of an execution frenzy" it says.
Using figures tallied from publicly available reports, Amnesty International said that since an anti-crime campaign, Strike Hard, was launched in April, China has carried out at least 1,781 executions and passed 2,960 death sentences.

But only a fraction of death sentences and executions in China are publicly reported and the actual number of people put to death is far higher, the group said.
Prisoners are also paraded through the streets past thousands of people on the way to execution by firing squad in nearby fields or courtyards, it said.

Death penalty crimes in China:

Stealing gasoline
Disrupting the stock market
Aiding Tibet border crossings
Separatism
Tax fraud
Violent crime
Drugs
Bribery
Pimping
Embezzlement
Tax fraud
Insurance fraud
Selling harmful foodstuffs

It'll be a cold day in hell when we see this on the Evening News.
