Necklacing

Necklacing (sometimes metonymically called Necklace) refers to the (never legalized) practice of execution carried out by forcing a rubber tire, filled with gasoline, around a victim's chest and arms, and setting it on fire.
The practice became a common method of lethal lynching during South Africa's national liberation struggle off the 1980s and 1990s. Necklacing sentences were sometimes handed down against alleged criminals by "people's courts" established in black townships after residents had lost confidence in the apartheid judicial system. Necklacing was also used to punish offenders, including children, alleged to be traitors to the liberation movement as well as their relatives and associates. The African National Congress (ANC) condemned the practice, although it was frequently carried out in the name of the ANC.
More recently, it has been used by vandals and protestors as a method of damaging speed cameras.
The same practice of extra judicial lynching is found in the Caribbean country of Haiti, prominently used against supporters of the Duvalier dictatorship at the beginning of the democratic transition (from 1986 to 1990). The term used in popular language is "Père Lebrun" (Father Lebrun), because of the well known autoparts dealer Mr LEBRUN, in whose shops tires can be bought by motorists.
