Death penalty report

August 2023

We are pleased to attach the mid July – August death penalty report thanks to group member Lesley for preparing it. It contains some good news about Ghana which has all but abolished use of the penalty and also Texas which is showing a much reduced use. By contrast Singapore has executed two people for drugs offences. We had occasion to mention Singapore in our previous post about Burma for their role in providing the military junta with weapons and other materiel. As ever, China is not mentioned because statistics about the huge numbers they execute are a state secret.
