With a minimum of 1,634 people executed last year a new record has been made and it is more than 50 per cent up on 2015.
These figures are an estimate as there are no figures from some countries and the figures from China are not a final number.
The majority of executions took place in: USA, 25; Egypt, 22; Chad, 20; Somalia, 25; Saudi Arabia, 158; Iran 977; Irak, 26; Pakistan, 326; China over 1,000; Indonesia, 14.
