Amnesty International Cites More than 1200 Executions

The human rights group Amnesty International has released its annual, worldwide report on executions. The report lists more 1200 executions, but it says the actual number could be many more times that, with China leading the way. The United States ranks fifth. The report says 135 countries, representing two-thirds of the world's countries, have abolished the death penalty and that executions are down from a year ago. VOA's Carolyn Presutti gives a closer look at the numbers.

USA is on the way to this with more population control ran by old Nazi eugenics programs. When you go to the doctor..all your medical info is kept and released to the World health organization. why?? Oregon recently passed the death law stating that if your too sick and too much of a burden on the medical system $..they will pay for your death. and if you don't have family money and the state is pay'n a doctor might choose that for you. fuck the doctors oath.

@yhanluppi You're an idiot. You know why? Prove your last two sentences.... that's right, you can't. Let me remind you of them.

How many murders? SHAMnesty? How many rapes? SHAMnesty? What you should tell scum is that IF you don't want to be executed, do not murder or rape! You are responsible for many innocent people being tortured and murdered in the world. COMEUPPANCE is never far away....

@Madman905 I couldn't agree more, i would volunteer to be the one to torture those sorts of people. The only thing that would stop me from wanting capital punishment is running the risk of the innocent suffering. Because thousands of people all over the world are charged with things that they didn't do.And the fuckwits that deserve the punishment, are sitting back and watching someone cop what they should be getting

The German state today systematically uses torture and assassination to shut down everyone complaining immediately. Examples are Heiner Gehring (author) or Uwe Barschel. My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during five and a half years and then was assassinated. Because of our book and homepage linked on my channel. Anybody who dares to tackle the German human rights abuses? Or is it just like: Don´t care, its Germany, they even got away with killing 6 m Jews.
