Смертная казнь

The death penalty — deprivation of the person of life as punishment. Can be legalized by the state. In a modern civilized society the death penalty in many jurisdictions is illegal, and in others — lawful criminal punishment only for extremely serious crimes. However, in China it is applied rather widely and for smaller offenses, such as: bribery, pimping, fake of bank notes, concealment of taxes and others.
The death penalty as a type of criminal punishment in Kazakhstan legislatively isn't cancelled. The human rights community insists, the republic within the international standards and at the constitutional level has to realize policy of full abolition of the death penalty.
