		</div><p>A US judge has temporarily blocked the state of Mississippi from carrying out executions.<br />
Judge Henry T Wingate issued a temporary restraining order in a case where three inmates have sued.<br />
An online federal court docket reflects that Judge Wingate has issued a restraining order, but no written copy is available. Jim Craig, a lawyer for two of the inmates, said the order was given verbally.</p>
<p>A spokeswoman for the Mississippi Department of Corrections confirmed the state will appeal.<br />
Prisoners say they face risks of excruciating pain during an execution, which violates the US Constitution’s Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.</p>
<p>The lawsuit says there’s no guarantee that Mississippi can mix a safe and effective anaesthetic to knock out prisoners, and that prisoners could remain conscious during execution.</p>
