9. Somalia – 14+ Executions Per Year

The land of pirates and considerable instability, you might expect the number of executions to be higher than 14. Given the often chaotic situation and lack of order inside Somalia at times, the actual number of executions is hard to come by.

Sentences are carried out by hanging, firing squad or, in special circumstances, stoning.
