Singapore 'tops execution league'

From the BBC:

"Singapore has the world's highest per capita execution rate, according to a report by Amnesty International.

The report said the Asian city-state, which has a population of four million, had hanged more than 400 prisoners in the last 13 years.

The rate is three times that of Saudi Arabia, the next country on the list."

Wow. That does seem a bit excessive.
