In 1942 the exiled Dutch government, based in London, changed the law and reintroduced the death penalty for those that had betrayed other people. 156 were convicted and in 1952 , 40 of those were executed.

Wow you are informed well
We juist had this discussion in English class just this day
And our (american) teacher said that all north american country's still had capital punishment
I questioned whether or not Canada had it but i believed her nevertheless
I'm Actually releaved that they don't have it
Another thing is i Went To The Hague last week with school and we visted the Prison Gate
a formor Jail where death punishment was executed on a very cruel way
The netherlands have made mistakes in the past
i don't think think they should have executed the collabators
And i totaly disagree with the chinese death punishment aswell
