In China, 62-year-old fan Weitsya was executed because in November 2024 he entered a crowd of people near a sports center in Zhukhai in his car, causing numerous sacrifices. This case has become one of the many bursts of violence in China, which attracted the attention of the public and the authorities.
The court in Zhuhai issued a sentence only three weeks after the attack, condemning the fan to the death penalty for a "extremely abominable" and "cruel" crime. In his sentence, the court noted that the motives of the fan were related to personal problems, including a failed marriage and dissatisfied divorce agreement. The driver on his SUV crashed into people who played sports on the treadmill, which led to numerous casualties. Many people were killed as a result of the attack and others were seriously injured.
Police detained a fan at the scene where he tried to commit suicide. After being sent to the hospital, his investigation and lawsuit, they completed extremely quickly - in just three weeks. A spike in China has become a matter of deep concern in China. The country's authorities in particular notes that attacks often have social or psychological motivation, and emphasizes the strengthening of security, calling for the rapid and severe punishment of those who are guilty of such crimes. This incident happened a few days after another horrible tragedy-an attack in the city by all, where 21-year-old Xu Jatuzin killed eight people, motivating his act as dissatisfied because of failure in personal life and career.
The execution of two men for such crimes provoked support among China citizens who expressed the approval of sentences on social networks, in particular on the Weibo platform. At the same time, Amnesty International notes that China does not provide complete information about the number of executions, but the country remains one of the greatest performers of death sentences in the world.
