The number of individuals killed via capital punishment in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the U.S.A. according to Amnesty International. The actual numbers in each country are assumed to be much larger with as many as 8,000 killed by the Chinese in secret.
I am against capital punishment in any country solely due to the fact that no human being is perfect and any "justice system" set up by a group of them is bound to be flawed also. Just the fact that one person has been wrongly put to death is enough for me to abolish the entire institution.
Now add on top of that the underhandedness and secrecy of these other countries and you have a massive infringement on basic human rights.
