death row inmates in oklahoma are protesting against the use of lethal injections to execute them they say is a keen to experiment ing on humans a law suit filed against the state to follows the bungled execution of oklahoma inmates clayton lockett in april he died of a heart attack forty three minutes after being injected doctors had burst a vein in his body while administering a controversial cocktail of drugs there was a similar incident back in january in ohio when inmate was reportedly in convulsions for about twenty six minutes in both cases concerns were raised that doctors use previously untested drugs now even though the investigation into both cases continues prison authorities are going ahead with the methods three executions have been carried out in june so far the first in april in total three thousand prisoners are weighed the death penalty in u.s.
12:26 pm
jails and human rights advocates are concerned that the authorities are i'm willing to take heed of the past failures every time one more state changes a protocol or changes the lethal drug cocktail in a sense we have the potential for human experimentation to be trying something on a human being that's never been tried before and that's being repeated in state after state here in the united states oklahoma has not done another execution yet now we've searched some dates out several months into the future and that's exactly why these inmates of sued what they're basically saying is that we're not ready to do more executions you know that you know the status saying things we will be ready within a couple of months and of course without the four findings there and what went wrong and quite markets are. secu shin i think it's very hard for the states argument to be taken seriously that we're ready to actually start more executions when we don't fully know what happened. coming up next in our international answer

12:28 pm
a brick is at the mercy of us ninety nine percent and secondly generally if a crowd of people does something few ever get punished i mean if this drone was actually a police drone would they try to lock up the entire crowd for breaking it no they wouldn't and they couldn't for some reason if one person commits an act of civil disobedience they are in ford but if a crowd does that they generally get away with it so if you're going to defend your right to privacy from drones bring fifty guys with you and everything will work out just fine but that's just my opinion. i. don't think the united states plan for ousting in a college neither did russia i think fine for taking control of our crimea and to get there we have a major crisis on our hands. do you think that is likely to be resolved in some sort of constructive way now because. this is the last change in borders that happens this way that i'm not saying will be forgotten but you know people the
