涉及中国人权内容：
I’m very sorry to report that there has been a substantial increase in global executions since we last met 2 years ago, in 2023, 1,153 executions took place in 16 countries.
A 31% increase from 2022 and the highest number in the past 8 years, that followed a 53% increase in execution between 2021 and 2022.
The top executing countries over the recent years include the Islamic Republic of Iran, Saudi Arabia,Somalia and the United States of America.
The figures do not include the People’s Republic of China,where there is a lack of transparent information and statistics on the death penalty.
We call on the Chinese authorities to change this policy and join the trend towards abolition.
