Death to the Death Penalty

Death to the Death Penalty

Posted on June 14th, 2010 Global Changes No comments

Amnesty International are campaigning to end the Death Penalty in as many countries as possible. There really should be no place for it in the modern world. Yet 58 countries still use capital punishment to this day.

China are thought to have executed at least 1700 (but could be up to 5000) people in 2009. Iran executed at least 388. Iraq at least 120. Saudi Arabia at least 69. In the United States of America, the supposed home of freedom and modern society, 52 people were put to death in 2009.

Even Japan executed 7 people. Egypt executed at least 5. 2 were executed in Thailand, and that is not including those who succumbed to government suppression. No one in the Western world can be sure how many were executed in communist North Korea.

We support Amnesty International in their quest to rid the world of Death Sentence.
