Farmer's gallows sales attacked

From the BBC:

David Lucas, of Mildenhall, Suffolk, said he had been selling execution equipment to countries including Zimbabwe for about 10 years.

Amnesty said the export of gallows, which will be made illegal by an EC regulation in July, was “appalling”.

But Mr Lucas said the trade was not sick and “business is business”.

He added some people deserved the death penalty.
