The lower house voted 288-60 to change Thailand's long-standing execution method to lethal injections, arguing they are less painful and cruel than shooting prisoners with a machine gun. The bill must be approved by the upper house and receive royal endorsement before it becomes law. Amnesty International said it planned to campaign against the bill. ``Amnesty International is against all kinds of executions. Lethal injections also violate human rights, so we plan a campaign against this new system of killing,'' said Ampika Saibouyai, the group's Thailand coordinator.
