It's a shame that one of the only developed country who applies this law quite alot(20times) included in this list is the U.S. (I'm not including Japan, Taiwan and Singapore who combined applied this less than 9 times).
I can understand all the other countries present in this list since they are still developing countries , but the U.S being there is something that shouldn't have been the case. It's a shame for the U.S , the U.S should abolished it's death penalty law(even for the most violent criminals like all developed countries did decades ago) , it's unbefitting for a wealthy advanced developed country to still have such a law. Shameful.
Quite surprising this list.
- I'm surprised to see Iran exucutes far more people than KSA. I have heard that before but I didn't think it was true.
-Even more surprise to see Taiwan carried out death penalty (even though it's was carried out just once last year) and are not that common. Same with Japan. Didn't even know they had this law and applied it(though rarely). Interesting list. Thanks for posting this, at least I learned something new.
Why are you against death penalty? What should be the punishment for terrorists? What about rapists and murderers or Child Rapists?
