Capital Punishment In The Republic Of China
Capital punishment is a legal form of punishment in Taiwan. Before 2000, Taiwan had a relatively high execution rate when some strict laws were still in effect in the harsh political environment. However, after some controversial cases during the 1990s plus some officials' attitude towards abolition, the number of executions dropped significantly, with only three executions in 2005 and none between 2006 and 2009. Execution resumed in 2010 after the early burst out of strong pro-capital punishment activities that year.
