This article.

2 Iran with 252 executions in 2010
3 North Korea 60 people were executed in 2010
4 Yemen 57 people were executed in 2010
5 USA 47 people were executed in 2010

population of
1 China 1,347,350,000
3 USA 314,884,000
17 Iran 75,149,669
48 North Korea 24,554,000
49 Yemen 24,527,000

Percentage of total population executed

1 Iran 3.353%
2 North Korea 2.443%
3 Yemen 2.323%
4 USA 1.492%
5 China 1.484%

As you see Iran is number 1 in executions even though they only had 252 in 2010.
I know countries keep everything as secretive as possible
but look at what we do know.
......also same countries by incarceration rate
Population incarcerated
1 USA 730/100,000
29 Iran 333/100,000
123 China 121/100,000
197 Yemen 48/100,000
North Korea ...info not found

Percentage of total population incarcerated

1 USA .730%
2 Iran .333%
3 China .121%
4 Yemen .048%
5 North Korea No information found

With this info we can see that even though China has 4.27 times the population of the USA.
USA incarcerates 6 times as many people as China...and
death penalties are about the same.

America the land of the "free"?????????????

I am aware that some people know I am just trying to get everyone else to know...Including U.S. citizens.....

America the land of the "free"?????????????

I had no idea that people from outside the United States would
even see this.
