AdÃ¨le Exarchopoulos in âBlue Is the Warmest Color.. Credit Sundance Selects. I first saw âBlue Is the Warmest Colorâ at Cannes, where I wrote 399 dissenting words on the movie and raised some of the issues I had with it. I wrote that Mr. Kechiche was a self-indulgent filmmaker (the movie runs three hours), and mentioned a scene in which a man talks about art and female orgasms.
Key facts. 101. As of July 2015, 101 countries have abolished the death penalty for all crimes. 22. In 2014, at least 22 countries around the world carried out executions. 2,466. In 2014, at least 2,466 people were sentenced to death worldwide-up 28% on 2013.he death penalty is cruel, inhuman and degrading. Amnesty opposes the death penalty at all times-regardless of who is accused, the crime, guilt or innocence or method of execution. We have been working to end executions since 1977, when only 16 countries had abolished the death penalty in law or practice.
California voters reinstated the death penalty a few months later, with Proposition 17 legalizing the death penalty in the state constitution and superseding the Anderson ruling. Since then, hundreds of death sentences have been handed down, but only 13 executions have been carried out, the last one in 2006. As of 2015, there were 746 offenders on California's death row. Of those, 126 involved torture before murder, 173 killed children, and 44 murdered police officers.
