We are pleased to attach our monthly death penalty report thanks to group member Lesley for the work in compiling it. Contains a lot about America, or specifically the US the only nation on the continent still to have the penalty. Note as usual that there is no mention of China which is believed to execute more of its citizens than the rest of the world put together but the statistics are a state secret.
October 2025
We are pleased to attach the latest death penalty report for the period mid-September to mid-October thanks to group member Lesley for the work in compiling it. There has been a lot of activity in America but we must point out as always that China is believed to execute more of its citizens than the rest of the world combined but details are a state secret.
March 2025
We are pleased to attach the latest report on this topic thanks to group member Lesley for the work on compiling it. The situation in US is mixed with the new president wanting to widen the scope of the penalty. To note as ever that China executes more than any other country but statistics are a state secret.
September 2024
We are pleased to attach the latest death penalty report covering the period mid-August to mid-September thanks to group member Lesley for the work in preparing it. Note as ever that China does not appear in the report despite being the world’s largest executioner as details of executions are a state secret.
May 2024
We are pleased to attach our latest monthly report covering the period mid April to mid May thanks to the work of group member Lesley in compiling it.
November 2023
We are pleased to attach the death penalty report for the period mid October to mid November thanks to group member Lesley for the work in compiling it. An interesting item is the shift in opinion in the USA away from the use of the penalty. Once again, we note that China – believed to be the world’s largest user of the penalty – does not feature as all details are a state secret.
October 2023
We are pleased to attach the death penalty report for mid-September to mid-October 2023 thanks to group member Lesley for the work in compiling the information. The report mentions the World Day Against the Death Penalty in which several group members took part sending an email and/or an email to Singapore concerning its use of the penalty for drugs offences. Note as ever that China does not feature as the details are a state secret. The country is believed to execute more of its citizens than the rest of the world combined.

September 2023
We are pleased to attach the latest death penalty report produced by group member Lesley for the period mid August to mid September 2023. As ever there is good news and bad with some countries engaged in heavy use of the penalty. China – believed to be the world’s largest executioner of its citizens – is briefly mentioned but detailed statistics are not available because they are a state secret. It is depressing to note in the UK, that following the conviction of Lucy Letby of murdering new born infants and attempting to murder others, a national newspaper ran a poll showing a strong majority to bring the death penalty back for such crimes.
