Mock execution

Uncommon card · No. 120585

A mock execution is a stratagem in which a victim is deliberately but falsely made to feel that their execution or that of another person is imminent or is taking place. This might involve blindfolding the victim, telling them they are about to die, or holding an unloaded gun to their head and pulling the trigger. Mock execution is categorized as psychological torture. There is a sense of fear induced when a person is made to feel that they are about to be executed or witness someone being executed. The psychological trauma can lead to depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, memory loss, and other mental disorders.
