At least 607 executions were carried out across the world in 2014, with even more death sentences handed down. This interactive shows the most recent statistics gathered by Amnesty International.

Figures marked with a ‘+’ symbol are a minimum estimate, with the real value potentially higher. Figures marked with ‘*’ indicate that at least some executions or death sentences have taken place, but Amnesty was unable to determine how many. Amnesty has also produced a map showing the death penalty status worldwide.
