So far in 2014, at least 45 people have been executed in the country.
Between 4 and 22 August, 22 people were executed, which represents an average of one execution per day.
“Beheading as a form of execution is cruel, inhuman and degrading
treatment and prohibited under international law under all
circumstances,” says UN expert Juan Méndez.
