Answer to 30 Questions #5

 How many countries currently have the death penalty?

55 countries have continued the death penalty. In 2022, 883 people were executed, and the number increased compared to the one in 2017. However, China, one of them, is inclined to withhold the details about the death penalty in the country, those who got executed in China weren’t counted.

 

BBC. “Death Penalty: How Many Countries Still Have It?” BBC News, 25 Jan. 2024, www.bbc.com/news/world-45835584.

 

“Executions Soar to Highest Number in Almost a Decade.” Amnesty International, 29 May 2024, www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/05/global-executions-soar-highest-number-in-decade/.


Both BBC and Amnesty International, which I adopted as citations, have great authority enough to make their words quite incredible for us. Especially as of the numbers on the latter must be factual  as they were from each country's official announcements.
