First sentence of the Stadium article:

> A court in China has sentenced 10 people to death, mostly for drug-related crimes, in front of thousands of onlookers before taking them away for execution.

Did you mean sentencing in instead of executing? Based on the article you linked, the executions seem to have occurred elsewhere.

I didn't mean to imply they were shot in the stadium. That's my mistake if it was taken that way.
Yes, it was clearly implied. There are indeed countries, like Saudi Arabia, where this sort of thing happens.
Unfortunately, the wording you had "executed in stadiums" is categorically false regardless of original intent. Why not edit it?
