The death penalty in the world

The death penalty
It 'still in force in some 91 countries.
In 1998, the fifteen countries in which then consisted of the European Union have ruled unanimously for the abolition of capital punishment in the rest of the world, putting also among the conditions that nations must fulfill in order to apply for membership to 'EU not to apply to them the death penalty. Moreover, it is known that 84% of the world's executions is accomplished in just four countries: China (which holds by far, as the number of executed, this dubious distinction), Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States . As if that were not enough, some of these countries (the USA, Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Rwanda, Bangladesh, Barbados, Saudi Arabia) condemned to death even minors.
In the United States and in other countries, can be sentenced to death, even minors, but perhaps not everyone knows that in Vermont and in Indiana you can at least in theory, get to apply the death penalty to kids 10 years.
In China, where the execution is carried out by firing squad, the soldiers have orders not to aim at certain parts of the body, so that the body can be immediately made available to doctors who espianteranno organs useful for transplantation, without have more need to obtain the consent of the families.
In the United States can be executed even the mentally ill who, as such you can not realize how committed.
In Iran, who is recognized guilty of political crimes and sentenced to death aa can not be appealed, nor has the right to seek pardon.
Saudi Arabia is often absent and the lawyer is used torture to obtain confessions. The executions are carried by beheading with a sword for men (and often not enough to kill the first shot but it must be stressed to give others ....), shooting and stoning for women (ie, the terrible death that follows all 'being repeatedly hit by stones pulled from the crowd) for married women (but not men) found guilty of adultery.
In the United States the black population constitutes 12% of the total but blacks account for 40% of those sentenced to death, which leaves more than a little doubt on the balance of the judgment of the jury.
In China, there are more than 60 different offenses for which you can be sentenced to death, and among them, murder drug trafficking, corruption, political opposition, trade in pornographic material, even the killing of certain animals considered sacred.
The list could go on, but what matters and understand how all of these examples emerge from the idea of ​​revenge, rather than that of the effort to recover the criminal to his humanity. If you respond to the death with death, there is equates killer? One can of course argue endlessly, supporting a point of view or another, but now knowing some details about how it is handled the death penalty in the world, however it is our judgment upon it, in conclusion we can say there are however many distortions to be corrected.
