About Execution van in brief
The execution van, also called a mobile execution unit, was developed by the government of the People’s Republic of China in 1997. The prisoner is strapped to a stretcher and executed inside the van. The van allows death sentences to be carried out without moving the prisoner to an execution ground. The vans also require less manpower per execution, requiring four persons to assist with the injection and are mobile. The PRC states that the vans are more humane than previous forms of execution. Amnesty International predicts that the execution rate in China will increase because of mobile capital punishment.
