Spain extradited a rebel leader to brutal colonial execution

Evidence

Ogé fled to Spanish Santo Domingo, but the Spanish extradited him to Le Cap. He asked for clemency, but received torture and execution. He and his fellow conspirator Jean-Baptiste Chavannes were condemned to be executed, broken on the wheel, and their heads displayed on pikes to dissuade others. Nineteen other participants were hung. — Dubois, Laurent, Avengers of the New World_ The Story of…, 302
