Facts & Observations:
Except for the 53 persons killed by governments in the U.S, there were no executions recorded in North America, South America, or Europe.
Of the world’s 1,591 documented executions, 1,010 were by China. An additional 6,500 to 7,000 undocumented Chinese killings are estimated by “credible sources”. (The official statistics are a state secret.)
The top six killers are China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan, and the United States, accounting for 92% of the world’s executions.
