Deaths by capital punishment increase in 2006

The number of death penalty executions across the globe increased last year despite more countries having denounced the practice, a Rome-based anti-capital punishment organization reports. The group says at least 5,628 people were put to death by capital punishment last year, noting that some countries are increasingly willing to employ the death penalty.
