国际特赦组织说,一些国家在2011年仍在继续以“令人警觉的速度”执行死刑。这些国家主要以亚洲国家为主,数量正在减少。这个人权组织星期二说,世界上只有10%的国家仍在使用死刑。这比十年前下降了三分之一以上。但是国际特赦组织驻联合国办公室主管迪亚兹说,这些国家继续反全球趋势而行,去年处决了 676人。 

Amnesty International says a declining number of mainly Asian countries continued to carry out the death penalty at an "alarming rate" in 2011. The rights group said Tuesday that only 10 percent of the countries in the world now employ capital punishment. That represents a decline of more than a third from a decade ago. But Jose Luis Diaz, the head of Amnesty International's U.N. office, says those countries continue to go against the global trend, having putting to death 676 people in the past year.
