Photos posted on Chinese news websites purportedly showing a woman being executed by lethal injection instead appear to have come from a fetish site, in the latest embarrassment for state media.

The websites of the state-run Xinhua news agency and the Global Times newspaper, which is affiliated to the ruling Communist Party, carried the series of about 40 images.

There was no story accompanying the photos and the intended purpose of the post was not clear.

In them, a distressed young woman -- who does not appear to be Chinese -- is forcibly led into a room and strapped to a gurney, and a Caucasian man in a white coat and wearing a surgical mask appears to administer an injection.

Later images show the woman in mental and physical anguish before she seems to die. The final image shows her lying motionless with the front of her dress open almost to the point of exposing her breasts.
