'Barbaric and exploitative': Human rights charities hit out at China for televising final moments before executing death row inmates
Notorious southeast Asian drug lord Naw Kham and three accomplices were killed by lethal injection one year on from being captured in an international manhunt.
Human rights groups have branded Chinese authorities 'exploitative' and 'utterly barbaric' after the state televised the final moments of four men before they were executed.
Notorious southeast Asian drug lord Naw Kham and three accomplices were killed by lethal injection one year on from being captured in an international manhunt.
Naw Kham was among the most infamous criminals in southeast Asia after being blamed for the murder of 13 Chinese sailors in an ambush on the Mekong River in October 2011.
At 2.19pm local time, 44-year-old Mr Naw, along with Hsang Kham, Yi Lai and Zha Xika, were bundled into security vans in Kunming, in southwestern China, before reportedly issuing lethal injections to all four men just before 3pm.

The Yunnan province Public Security Bureau then posted online a message simply saying: "Execution implemented."
