Death by China

A couple days ago Amnesty International came out with another interesting report. It was their annual numbers for executions around the world. Not surprising China is leading the world in another category. China took first place with 3,400 people executed in 2004. The United States came in fourth with 59, beaten out by Vietnam with 64 and Iran with "at least" 159 people executed. The numbers for most of the governments though are probably much higher, due to large numbers of illegal executions that are not reported to the UN. Large numbers of the people that are killed in China's war on dissidents, sorry I mean China's war on terrorism, are not reported in these stats. Neither does the UN count the deaths that occur in China's slave labor camps, where most political prisoners are held.
This is just another example of the "spectacular" human rights record of the new "reform" government in China.
