人权团体：中国仍然是世界上最顶尖的侩子手
罗马（美联社）— 周四，据一个人权团体的报告称：去年，伊朗的死刑执行量下降了三分之一；然而，沙特的死刑执行量却增加了3倍…… 这一切的一切，导致全世界的死刑执行数在过去的2007年里仍然有所上升。该报告称：中国仍然是世界上最顶尖的侩子手。
总部位于罗马，并发起阻止死刑运动的人权组织“Hand Off Cain”声称：虽然各国都在日益脱离与死刑的干系，然而在2007年，却有比过去两年中的任何一年都要多的人被执行了死刑。
据该团体在其年度报告中透露：大体上，去年全世界的死刑总数至少已升至5851例。与2006年的5635例和2005年的5494例相比有显著提高。
2007年，美国仍然是全美洲唯一保留死刑的国家。但是，美国在该年度的死刑执行总数达到了13年来的最低值——在07年美国只有42人被处以死刑，比上年度减少了11人。
该报告亦称，逐步废除死刑的进程仍在持续进行中。截至目前，只有49个国家仍保留死刑。与2006年的51个国家和2005年的54个国家相比有所减少；2007年，只有其中的26个国家执行了死刑。这和2006年的28个国家的相比亦有所下降。
基于各大媒体和人权团体的报告，Hands Off Cain预计，中国一个国家就执行了至少5000例死刑。执行死刑的具体数量在中国仍然属于国家机密。这个估计数值和该团体在去年给出的估计数值相等。
然而，Hands Off Cain宣称，有迹象表明，中国的死刑执行数是有所下降的。
通过引用一些地方官员、研究人员和人权团体的报告，该Hands Off Cain认为，在2007年，中国的死刑执行数也许下降了30%（本人质疑：既然可能下降了30%，那为什么连续两年的预计数字都是5000+呢？ 要知道，从数学的角度上来说，就算死刑执行数从5999跌至5001，其跌幅也远没有30%。从此便可看出该机构的报告逻辑混乱。） 。中国最高人民法院称，他们在今年上半年就驳回了15%的死刑判决。
在伊朗，去年至少有355人被处以了死刑，这和2006年的215例死刑相比有明显的上升。加之德黑兰当局并不公开发布有关的官方统计数据，所以这个数字可能还要高得多。
沙特阿拉伯在去年执行了166例死刑，然而其在此前一年的死刑执行数却仅为39人，该报告如是说。
Hands Off Cain宣称，伊朗和沙特对未成年人执行了死刑，这违反了联合国保障儿童权利的公约。
巴基斯坦的死刑执行数在去年继续呈上升趋势，其至少执行了134例死刑。
该报告将美国死刑执行数的下降归功于就死刑问题展开的司法辩论。在长达7个多月的时间里，死刑的执行都处于能依靠司法辩论进行驳回的可控范围内。直到4月时，最高法院才驳回了两名死刑犯提出的“死刑违反宪法并且极度残忍”的申辩。

Rights group: China is world's top executioner
ROME (AP) — Executions jumped by a third in Iran and quadrupled in Saudi Arabia last year, causing the total number of executions around the world to rise yet again in 2007, a human rights group reported Thursday. It said China remained far in front as the world's top executioner.
The Rome-based Hands Off Cain, which campaigns to stop the death penalty, said that while countries were increasingly renouncing the death penalty, more people were put to death in 2007 than in either of the previous two years.
In all, the number of executions increased last year to at least 5,851, compared with 5,635 in 2006 and 5,494 in 2005, the group said in its annual report.
The United States remained the only country in the Americas that carried out death sentences in 2007, but the country hit a 13-year low in the overall number of executions it performed — putting 42 people to death, 11 less than in 2006.
WAITING: Prisoners' time spent on death row doubles
The gradual trend of abolishing capital punishment continued, with 49 countries retaining the death penalty, compared with 51 in 2006 and 54 in 2005. Only 26 countries that have capital punishment on their books actually used it in 2007, down from 28 in 2006, the report said.
China alone accounted for at least 5,000 executions, the rights group estimated, based on reports by the media and other human rights groups. The exact number of executions in China remains a state secret. This was the same estimate the group gave for China last year.
However, Hands Off Cain said there were indications of a reduction in the number of death sentences in China.
Citing reports by magistrates, researchers and rights groups, the group said death sentences issued by Chinese courts may have dropped by up to 30% in 2007. China's own Supreme People's Court has said it rejected 15% of all death sentences reviewed in the first half of this year.
In Iran, at least 355 people were put to death last year, compared with 215 in 2006, the group said, adding that the figure may be even higher because Tehran does not publish official statistics.
Saudi Arabia carried out 166 executions, compared with 39 a year earlier, the report said.
Hands Off Cain said both Iran and Saudi Arabia executed minors, in violation of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Pakistan also continued an upward trend, executing at least 134 people.
The report attributed the drop in executions in the United States to the judicial debate surrounding lethal injections. Executions were on hold around the United States for more than seven months until the U.S. Supreme Court in April rejected an appeal from two Kentucky prisoners who argued the method was unconstitutionally cruel.
