Even if i did agree, the method is savage, not only did they whip him i suspect the hanging was not done with a fatal knot which breaks th neck was the English practice but by suffocation. Even the guilotine, firing squad etc offered a quick death as a punishment not an agnizing one as punishment. (God, i'm sounding like a liberal)

You are correct, the article stated that he was hoisted by a crane, specifically to prevent his neck from breaking and quickly ending the execution. Not an uncommon practice in that part of the world.
