Capital punishment in Abkhazia

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Capital punishment in Abkhazia is only permitted for crimes during wartime, although the country is considered to be abolitionist in practice. Since 2007, a moratorium on the death penalty had been in place. In prior years, Abkhazia sentenced ten people to death for various offenses, but none of those sentences were carried out.[1]
