A despicable man convicted of raping and murdering a three-year-old girl was executed in the Yemeni capital Sanaa last 31 July in front of hundreds of onlookers. This is the first public execution there since 2009 and it won't be the last, especially for child rapists.
"Security was very tight, because authorities were fearing a revenge attack by armed men from the Bani Matar tribe to which the girl's family belong," said Reuters photographer Khaled Abdullah who witnessed the scene.
