Ripoti mpya ya Shirika la Amnesty International imeonesha Uhai wa Watu 1,153 ulikatishwa mwaka 2023 kutokana na kuhukumiwa adhabu ya Kifo ikiwa ni ongezeko la Watu 270 (31%) kutoka Watu 883 waliouawa mwaka 2022
Kwa mujibu wa Ripoti, idadi hiyo ni kubwa zaidi kwa kipindi cha takriban miaka 8 ambapo mara mwisho Watu wengi zaidi (1,634) waliuawa mwaka 2015. Amnesty International imesema idadi hiyo ni nje ya Watu walionyongwa na Serikali ya China mwaka 2023
Pia, ripoti imeeleza kuwa haijajumuisha Watu walionyongwa Korea Kaskazini, Palestina, Vietnam na Afghanistan ambako takwimu haziwekwi hadharani kutokana na taratibu za usiri wa Mataifa hayo
Nchi zilizotajwa kutekeleza Adhabu ya Kifo ni Bangladesh (5), Misri (8), Iran (853+), Iraq (16+), Kuwait (5), Saudi Arabia (172), Singapore (5), Somalia (38+), Syria (+), Marekani (24) na Yemen (15+).
=========
Amnesty International recorded 1,153 executions in 2023, an increase by 31% (270) from the 883 known executions in 2022. It is the highest figure recorded by Amnesty International since the
exceptionally high number of 1,634 in 2015; and the first time since 2016 (1,032) that the known total was over 1,000.
The known totals do not include the thousands of people believed to have been executed in China, which in 2023 remained the world’s lead executioner.
In addition, Amnesty International could not determine credible minimum figures for executions carried out in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and Viet Nam, countries believed to continue to punish people by death extensively. Because of this, the global total presented in this report constitutes a minimum figure that only partially describes the true extent of states’ resort to executions during the year.
EXECUTIONS RECORDED GLOBALLY IN 2023
Afghanistan (+), Bangladesh (5), China (+), Egypt (8), Iran (853+), Iraq (16+), Kuwait (5), North Korea (+), Palestine (State of) (+), Saudi Arabia (172), Singapore (5), Somalia (38+), Syria (+), USA (24), Viet Nam (+), Yemen (15+).
The significant increase in the known global total was mainly due to a spike in executions in Iran (48% rise from 576 in 2022; and more than doubled from 314 in 2021). This was particularly evident in its known drug-related executions, which surged from 255 in 2022 to 481 in 2023.
Iran alone accounted for 74% of all recorded executions; and Saudi Arabia for 15%. These two countries were responsible for 89% of the known total.
Rises in known executions were also recorded, most notably, in Somalia (from 6+ in 2022 to 38+ in 2023, a six-fold increase); the USA (from 18 in 2022 to 24 in 2023, 33% rise); and Yemen (from 4+ to 15+, almost quadrupled on the previous year).
Women were known to have been executed in China (+), Iran (24), Saudi Arabia (6), Singapore (1). Executions were recorded in 16 countries, the lowest number of executing countries on record, since Amnesty International began monitoring.
No executions were recorded in Belarus, Japan, Myanmar and South Sudan, all countries that carried out executions in 2022 (20 countries in total).
