Seven members of the Aum Shinrikyo were executed underground in Tokyo behind a fatal Salin attack in 1995.
Many people may be surprised to learn that there is still a death penalty in Japan, a peaceful temple and a country related to the modern era. Indeed, it is one of the few countries considered to be "industrialized" and still forces criminals. The other countries are the United States, Singapore and Taiwan.
As shown in the picture above, except for one exception, all European countries have abolished it: Belarus. It is often called "last dictatorship in Europe", which executed two people in 2017 and executed more than 200 people since 1990. Many of the Caribbean countries, such as Saint Lucia, Barbados, Antigua, have death sentences.
The latest countries to abolish the death penalty include Burkina Faso (2018), Guinea (2017), Benin (2016), and Madagascar (2015).
According to Amnesty International, last year 23 countries implemented at least 993 executions (1,032 compared with 2016, 1,634 in 2015). However, the actual number may be much more

Pausing is the main form of enforcement in Japan, and it is done in a quarantined criminal organization.

58 countries around the world apply capital punishment, including the United States, China, India, Saudi Arabia, Japan and other countries. I think there is a fundamental reason for those two countries and countries that have abolished the death penalty argument, with that logic. In terms of implementation, the US ranks fifth. Among the top five, the United States is the only liberal democracy. Currently in our country, federal law and 36 state laws put the death penalty in the form of punishment. Unlike most countries, under the law of the United States execution of minors is permitted. For example, in Mississippi, at the age of 15 in Missouri State and Utah State State, 13-year-old people are executed at the age of 14 from Arkansas.
