Not just the cult leader, but 12 others sentenced to death as well. Seven were hanged this week, six more to go.

According to the article, executions are carried out in secret and no warning of the execution date is given to the prisoner or anyone else. I guess they just show up at your cell and say "It's your turn."

since my MIL is Japanese we watch NHK constantly....they weren't executed in a week, they were executed in one night! As it was being announced I texted my husband "Japan has the death penalty?". He texted back, "I wouldn't think so". I finally had to call him and expain what was going on over there.
I guess some criminals where it's very straight-forward, the death-penalty is carried out rather quickly. It was pretty interesting to read about.
