Amnesty International — Facts and Figures on the Death Penalty:
During 2004, at least 3,797 people were executed in 25 countries and at least 7,395 people were sentenced to death in 64 countries. These were only minimum figures; the true figures were certainly higher.
[...]
Based on public reports available, Amnesty International estimated that at least 3,400 people were executed in China during the year, although the true figures were believed to be much higher. In March 2004 a delegate at the National People’s Congress said that “nearly 10,000″ people are executed per year in China.
Iran executed at least 159 people, and Viet Nam at least 64. There were 59 executions in the USA, down from 65 in 2003.
Mit anderen Worten: Fast 3.800 Hinrichtungen schaffen es nicht auf die Titelseiten, und die, die es schaffen, sind immer, immer die amerikanischen.
