The Death Penalty for Drug Offences

Resources compiled by partner Harm Reduction International:

35 countries retain the death penalty for drugs, even though it is a violation of international law. Drug offences do not meet the threshold of ‘most serious’ crimes to which the death penalty can be applied.

HRI monitors the death penalty worldwide to expose these rights violations and advocate for people facing the death penalty for drug offences, their families and communities.
