死刑國家減少,行刑數量不減

Amnesty International says a declining number of mainly Asian countries continued to carry out the death penalty at an "alarming rate" in 2011. The rights group said Tuesday that only 10 percent of the countries in the world now employ capital punishment. That represents a decline of more than a third from a decade ago. But Jose Luis Diaz, the head of Amnesty International's U.N. office, says those countries continue to go against the global trend, having putting to death 676 people in the past year.國際特赦組織說，一些國家在2011年仍在繼續以“令人警覺的速度”執行死刑。這些國家主要以亞洲國家爲主，數量正在減少。這個人權組織星期二說，世界上只有10%的國家仍在使用死刑。這比十年前下降了三分之一以上。但是國際特赦組織駐聯合國辦公室主管迪亞茲說，這些國家繼續反全球趨勢而行，去年處決了 676人。
