Titolo: Raddoppio delle esecuzioni nel mondo

World executions double in a year
 
China leads the world in its use of the death penalty
The number of people shot, electrocuted and hanged by governments
doubled last year, the human rights group Amnesty International says. 
At least 3,048 state executions were carried out in 31 countries
during 2001, more than twice the 1,457 killed the previous year, the
organisation reported. 
The figures for China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the US accounted for 90%
of all known executions in 2001

The group attributed the surge in numbers to a crackdown on crime in
China, which saw the country execute nearly 1,800 people in one
four-month period. 
China's total use of the death penalty in 2,468 cases was more than
all the other countries combined. 
"The figures for China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the US accounted for
90% of all known executions in 2001," Amnesty said in a statement.
Uncertain totals 
But the group also said there had been "significant progress" towards
the abolition of the death penalty. 
Chile had outlawed the death penalty for peacetime offences, while
Bosnia and Yugoslavia had abolished it completely. 
It is impossible to give a complete total because many countries
deliberately keep the true numbers of those executed secret 
 
Amnesty International  
Amnesty stressed that the figures only included those executions
reported by governments, and the actual number could be much higher. 
Even so, it was the highest annual total since 1996 and the second
highest in 20 years.
"It is impossible to give a complete total because many countries
deliberately keep the true numbers of those executed secret, belying
the supposed deterrent value of the death penalty," the organisation
said in a statement. 
The Amnesty statement called on the Geneva-based United Nations
refugee agency (UNHCR) to reiterate its call for a worldwide
moratorium on state executions. 
Amnesty recorded 139 executions in Iran last year, up from 75 in 2000,
while the US total had decreased by 19 to 66.
