The 10 most horrific mass suicides in human history

Mass suicides have always been perceived as cruel and terrible events. Unfortunately, they have happened more than once in the history of mankind and continue to happen today. They are committed by a group of people who have decided to die together at the same time in the same place or in different parts of the world, but at the same time.
