Whether or not a country exercises the death penalty is usually a pretty good indicator of how civilised it is - or at least, aspires to be. When a country shows executions live on TV, you know for sure it's barbaric. Whether it also violates the country's own law which provides that executions shall not be held in public, is a legal question I am not qualified to judge.
