In 2022, a total of 883 people will have been executed in 20 countries, the highest number of documented legal executions worldwide since 2017. This is an increase of 53 percent compared to 2021, mainly due to the large number of executions in the Middle East and North Africa . The estimated thousands of executions in China are not included in the figure. This is what human rights organization Amnesty International says in its annual report on the death penalty.
