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.
A 2013 report by the Death Penalty Information Center revealed that the death penalty is a local phenomenon in the United States. 85% of the counties have not carried out any executions in over 45 years, and only 2% of the counties in the U.S. accounted for over half of the executions carried out since 1976.ver the past decade, 8 of the 31 states that have not abolished the death penalty have carried out no executions, and might thus be considered to have de facto moratoria. The governor of Oregon declared a formal moratorium on executions on November 22, 2011 to last throughout his term, which ends in January 2015.
