I'm pretty sure that dissenters of Great Britain from back in the day had it pretty bad:
Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered.
- Dragged on a hurdle (a wooden frame) to the place of execution. This is one possible meaning of drawn. The more likely meaning of Drawn is the act of disembowelment
- Hanged by the neck for a short time or until almost dead (hanged)
- Disembowelled and emasculated and the genitalia and entrails burned before the condemned's eyes (this is another meaning of drawn-see the reference to the Oxford English Dictionary below).
- The body divided into four parts, then beheaded (quartered)
