www.handsoffcain.org/
June 18, 2004: The report is edited once again by Elisabetta Zamparutti and published in Italian by Marsilio.
The presentation of the 2004 report will also be a platform to relaunch HOC’s campaign for a worldwide moratorium on executions through a UN General Assembly resolution. HOC’s campaign is currently placing a special emphasis on Africa.
The launch will take place on Wednesday 23rd June 2004 at 10.45 CET in Via di Torre Argentina 76, Rome.
Section Iran
Iran, again in the top three
Iran, along with China, regularly features among the countries that execute most people in the world. Though China remains by far the most prolific executioner, Iran, in proportion to its population, applies capital punishment just as much. In 2003, 154 executions were recorded in Iran, including a woman and a minor. This total is significantly less than in 2002, when 316 executions were registered, including a woman stoned to death, but as with other illiberal countries, the real number of people put to death by the state is probably much higher. Iranian authorities do not issue official statistics on the death penalty, and HOC´s total is based on news reports by Iranian media, that very likely do not carry news of every single execution.
Iran does not limit itself to the death penalty. Its interpretation of Sharia law prescribes whippings for sexual relations before marriage, lashings for drinking alcohol and amputation of hands and feet for petty thieves. more
