Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China is the
world's top executioner, but it doesn't want you to know that
Capital
punishment is legal punishment by death. It has been abolished or not been
practiced most of the countries but still legalized and executed in 36
countries. Some of them are very populous countries such as China, India, the
United States, and Indonesia, over 60% of the world population live in the countries
where death penalty is executed.
According to
the data estimated by the Amnesty International, there was a huge increase in
the number of executions in 2015 to 1,635, up over 50% from the previous year.
Most of the
executions were made only in three countries. Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. However,
China, which doesn’t publicize such data, is believed to have executed much
more than the world total.
Read and think
if capital punishment deters offenders from committing serious crimes.
