Middle Eastern countries remained among the world’s leading executioners outside of China last year, Amnesty International said on Wednesday. The number of executions worldwide plummeted to its lowest level in more than a decade, with at least 483 people executed in 2020 compared to 657 the previous year, as the coronavirus pandemic slowed criminal trials and disrupted scheduled executions. Four Middle Eastern states Iran, Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia topped the global list and pressed on with shootings, beheadings and hangings, ignoring pleas by rights groups to halt executions during the pandemic, the report said. Although counts in the nations fell in line with global trends, largely due to Saudi legal reforms, the countries carried out 88% of the world’s total known executions in 2020, according to the London-based rights group that campaigns for abolition of the death penalty.
