And see: European Aid for Executions: How European counternarcotics aid enables death sentences and executions in Iran and Pakistan (pdf): "UK taxpayers money has enabled as many as 2,917 brutal executions in Iran and more than 112 pending death sentences in Pakistan, a report from legal action charity Reprieve has shown. Many of the sentences have been handed down to women and children, as well as a number of British nationals.... The research confirms that over the last ten years Britain has given more money than any other European country to drug police in Iran and Pakistan; countries which aggressively pursue the death penalty for drug offences and boast the world's highest per capita execution rate (Iran) and the world's largest death row population (Pakistan)."

Our work is only possible with your support.
