It's a stupid idea to execute resistance fighters like this because the actual execution will sprout more resistance. And burning to death? Oof, that's not charming hearts and minds, no.
Juntas aren't well known for their PR. They just want to inflict as much violence as possible because that's the only way a military mind can think of achieving its goals.
That sounds about right.
Perhaps mention the article contains graphic images in the post body text.
I mean, you are right (or tag) but clicking on an article with that heading is a bit of a give away.
Most reputable news outlet will do a content warning if the article contain such image, or even blur the image by default, or not show the image altogether, it's understandable people take that as a standard.
Warning: Graphic Content
Literally, the first words of the article with no gore in sight(at least on mobile)
We are living in a funny world, where nudity must be tagged and generally hidden, but there is wide acceptance to show violence.
People are being hung and burned to death, and you're commenting about seeing some mild photos of it? We need to get over it and commit to becoming more intimately familiar with how a large portion of the world works, because avoiding violence seems to be a privilege and a luxury, the more I see of the world. The least we can do is witness it, because I think violent revolution and violent oppression is closer to any of us than we want to admit.
OP was complaining about how they had to see it WITHOUT consent. Your point about being willing to stomach photos of atrocities is moot if you don't give the viewer the choice of seeing them.
Backward degenerates.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
