!!!!!!!!!!Inhumanity!!!!!!!!!

John Wycliffe:
Persecuted and burned at stake in the 1300's for translating the Bible into English.

William Tyndale:
So angered church leaders with his insistence on printing and distributing English-language Bibles that the church had his dead body exhumed, strangled, burned at stake and thrown in a river.

Ken Saro-Wiwa: (1941-1995:

A successful teacher, businessman and activist. His remains were released for burial in 1999 by Olusegun Obasanjo.

Saartjie Baartman (Sara); 1190-1815:
Exhibited as a freak because of the 'unusual' appearance of her buttocks. She was made to parade naked. She was, from time to time, put on display at high social balls 'as a naked and exotic savage dressed only in feathers.; Her brain and genitals were stored somewhere in the backroom where she was put on public display. -"her movements had something brusque and capricious about them that recalled those of monkeys."

Zainabo Alfani:
She watched the Patriotic Front Resistant military men boil her two children alive and then persevered the horror of being gang raped by them in northern Congo. She contracted Aids from the ordeal and died two years later of Aids-related complications.

Jean-Bedel Bokassa:

He had 17 wives. In May 1979, he killed 100 children in a prison (Bangui) for protesting against the cost of school uniforms. He ate some of the massacred victims....

Joseph Kony (LRA-October 22 2002)
Locked up people in their houses and set them ablaze.

Beat three men to death and ordered their wives to copulate with the corpses.

Forced parents to smash the heads of their children against trees and then used axes and matchets to kill the parents.

Tied up men and herded the rest into the village centre, then hacked and clubbed the victims to death.  He then ordered a child soldier to bring a big pot from one of the houses, lit fire and and as water boiled, they dropped off the limbbs and heads of the bodies and tossed them in the pot.

Survivors of the ordeal were forced to eat the human flesh from the pot and drink the soup.


William Wallace (Braveheart)
Butchered on August 23,1305.  Captured on August 3 and hauled to London over the next 20days to be tried for treason.  He was found guilty and tied on a horse and dragged through the streets in front oif crowds baying Londoners.

After being hanged, then disbellowed, the 35-year-old's body was hacked to pieces and his head impaled on a spike as a warning to other rebels.

A real Scottish hero.

  2. I didn't know about Sara, Zainabo, and Bokassa (who massacred and ate some of the bodies of the kids). *sigh* Inhumanity at it's best. Sad.
