This week we released our annual death penalty report. It revealed that in the last year
2,390 people have been executed around the world. This is over
1,000 more than in 2007. China was responsible for 72% of these killings, whilst Belarus is the last country in Europe to still use the death penalty.
If you find this as worrying as we do, then make sure you take one of the actions below and help make this cruel and inhumane punishment a thing of the past.
