Reply to comment by ImmoralJester54 in TIL On Christmas Eve 1969, Francisco Macias Nguema had 186 suspected dissidents executed in the national football stadium in Malabo with the executioners dressed as Santa Claus, with the amplifiers played Mary Hopkin's song "Those Were the Days". by Osrever101

It was obviously a trick. A bogus cry for help. Anyone taking it seriously was in line for some bizarre execution, guillotine by razor blade or something.
