Throughout the world some Forms of Medieval Punishment still exist, only today it is called Capital Punishment. Many people oppose this punishment and say that it is inhumane and barbaric. An example of a Country that supports this punishment is Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia there is a place commonly known as "Chop, chop square"- this is a public area where executions are still held. Not only is the fact that the executions are held in public but some of the executions and punishments are still the same. For example:

  • They still behead people-using a sword.
  • They still chop off thieves hands.
  • People are still hanged.
  • people are whipped in Middle Asia

However, today there are a few more humane ways of executing someone, one example is of the lethal injection.

We also use more excrutiating and very harsh methods of executing people today. A few examples are:

  •  Electrocution.
  • Lethal Gas.
  • Strangulation.
  • Being put in front of a firing squad and being shot to death.
