The 3,797 Criminal executions in 2004 were the second-largest annual total in the last 25 years, Amnesty International said. And it noted that its numbers represented the minimum number of executions it could confirm.

China carried out more executions than all other countries combined - at least 3,400 - the human rights group says.

Iran came second, with at least 159, followed by Vietnam with at least 64 - the human rights group says.

Viet Nam came third, with 62 executions - the human rights group says.

The US came fourth in Amnesty's table, with only 59 in 2004.




There are something like 20,000 murders a year in the USA alone. If there were any real justice in America we be seeing execution numbers in the thousands too.


But this is nothing compared to the millions of innocent babies who have been viciously executed (with hooks and vacuum pumps) as "simply unwanted humans" by the selfish, cold hearted sinners of America. YES, you ARE BEING JUDGED !!!

neocons are going crazy lately with a cue from bil oriley AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHH

lol that guy was about to beat up phil donahue for what? lol for comenting "you wouldnt send your kids to fight in Iraq" LMAOROF gooooood one......

TO add some information: from June 24, 2005 that means from the iranian election and the time that Ahmadinejad became president there have 63 executions. 5 of them were under the age of 18.

The guy who brought us "The people of New Orleans got what they deserved" is now passing judgement on "cold-blooded sinners". I didn't know there was such a soft spot for fetuses... Wait! I read it wrong!
It says executions are a good thing. Then it says "This is nothing compared to" all the fetuses being killed. You sadist. I'm pro-choice too, but I would never use the reasoning that so many are killed as an argument for being pro-choice. Will you not be happy till the entire world's population is destroyed?

Who's a' gonna swing fer that, Bubba?

Yea, and maybe the death penalty and helping too much with that crime rate, seeing as how we've got one of the highest (if not highest) in the developed world.

Can you prove we deliberatly tried to kill 100,000 people?

If not, then it is not murder.

So the US executes 1/57th the number of people the PRC executes per year...yet many liberals on here will jump at the chance to defend the PRC saying they are not oppressing anyone. Hypocrites.

Amnesty International is one of the few liberal friendly groups that applies it's condemnation equally.

Who defends China for human rights? China's policies on human rights are the opposite of liberal. A liberal who defends them should be stripped of the liberal title (not that too many people care for that title anyway).

So you think that the 20,000 murders a year in AmeriKKKa are not reason enough to execute the actual people who get convicted by THEIR PEERS in a fair trial?

I have heard (on Precious TV) that more than 50% of US murders are preformed by people with PREVIOUS MURDER CONVICTIONS. By accepting the revolving door system you are condemning even more innocent people to die.

This is why I left your CRAPPY country years ago..., Have another nice day of GOD's wrath, (while you continue live in opposition to his word)!
