Kemel Bey.

This is coolbert:

“Not one Turk in a thousand will think that any other Turk deserves to be hanged for massacring Christians.”

AS IT WAS TODAY NINE-ONE YEARS AGO. THE EXECUTION OF MEHMED KEMAL FOR WAR CRIMES.

Thanks to the Internet web site ExecutedToday.com and the tip from Freeper.

"1919: Mehmed Kemal, for the Armenian genocide"

"Ninety-one years ago today,* [10 April] the tottering Ottoman Empire hanged one of its officials in Istanbul for his role in the mass slaughter of its Armenian minority during the First World War."

"Kemal Bey’s hanging in Bayezid Square occurred in the immediate aftermath of the Great War. Here, on its last legs, the remains of a sultanate splintered apart in the war instituted tribunals for wartime offenses by the Young Turks who had run the government during the war — a sop to the British occupying forces making worrying noises about international trials for much bigger fish."

"sop - - noun: something given to pacify or quiet, or as a bribe"

The occupying force of the British threatening something more major if someone not paying a price for the war crimes of the Turk as perpetrated against the Armenian people during World War One.

The Turkish government of the Sultan [soon to be disposed] carrying out the trial and execution. A sop indeed.

INSTITUTIONALIZED AND MORE RADICAL TRIALS FOR WAR CRIMES AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY NORMALLY AS AS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERIOD IN THE AFTERMATH OF WORLD WAR TWO. KEMAL BAY IN A WAY HIS HANGING IN 1920 A FORERUNNER OF THINGS TO COME.
