词条 | Capital punishment in Cuba |
释义 |
OverviewThe 1940 Constitution of Cuba banned capital punishment for peacetime offenses, but the penalty was officially reinstated by law as well as in practice following the Cuban Revolution, in 1959. Sources suggest many more have been executed since 1959, compared to official statistics. The last sentences were commuted in December 2010.[2][3][4] The last recorded executions were on April 11, 2003,[5] The case concerned three men who were found guilty of having hijacked a Regla ferry. The hijack occurred on April 4, 2003; during the incident, the plaintiffs were alleged to have threatened to kill passengers, demanding sufficient fuel to travel to the United States.[6][7] In 2010, the sentences of all remaining death row inmates in Cuba were commuted. To date, no further death sentences have been handed out. See also
