By September 2003, 6 people had been sentenced to death since the re-introduction of capital punishment in 1991. None of these executions have been carried out, with most of the sentences overturned on appeal.

*NB: Reports of death sentences and executions are not always carried by local media, and the statistics reported on the HOC website may vary from official statistics issued by government or judicial sources after the year ends.
