In Japan, a woman sentenced to death choked on her meal. The Ministry of Justice announced this on Sunday. The 49-year-old was convicted of the murder of two men in 2009 and the sentence became final in 2017. She has been awaiting execution on the gallows ever since.
In Japan, death row inmates are not told when they will be executed. When the Justice Department’s death sentence finally arrives, most of them have only hours to live.
Currently 105 convicts on death row
Japan is one of the few developed countries that still uses the death penalty. Human rights activists and the EU have for years denounced Japan’s handling of executions and prison conditions. There are currently 105 convicts on Japanese death row.
