We are pleased to attach our latest report on current issues surrounding the use of this penalty around the world. Thanks go to group member Lesley for the work in compiling it. Note as ever there is no substantive report from China which is thought to execute more of its citizens than the rest of the world combined but where statistics are a state secret.
The death penalty report for September is now available thanks to Lesley for compiling it. Links to other blog posts and in particular the continuing correspondence with John Glen MP concerning the government’s policy change on the death penalty.
Death penalty report, September
Report on possible reductions in the use of the death penalty by India and China. This is to be welcomed although we cannot verify the situation in the latter country because the numbers executed are a state secret.
