9 minutes, 2002
Ref: 242

China executes more people than anywhere else - over 1,000 a year. But critics say that does not deter crime. And too often the innocent are found guilty of crimes they did not commit. In Asia - most nations have the death penalty, but few actually use it. Wherever in the world the death penalty exists, there is debate and controversy. The U.S. puts to death more than 60 people a year, and more than 3,000 languish on death row. Contains strong footage.
