it resumed judicial killing in 1977. This list represents about 10 per cent
of those put to death in the country during this period, and is for illustrative
purposes only. It does not claim to be exhaustive – cases of others
who have been executed have also raised serious questions relating to their
mental health.
"Volunteer"
denotes a prisoner who gave up his or her appeals and “consented”
to execution.
