China Death Penalty Project

Officially launched in Beijing, China on 20-21 June 2007, the China Death Penalty Project is a three year research project into the abolition of the death penalty in China. The project, which is funded by the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights, will involve research into death penalty cases as well as survey work on public opinion and the death penalty. The academic element will be complemented by a series of seminars culminating in a recommendation to the National People’s Congress and public forums for discussion of the issues surrounding the death penalty. The project is being organised under the directorship of the Great Britain China Centre with the Irish Centre for Human Rights as a partner organisation. On the Chinese side the project is being lead by the College for Criminal Law Science, Beijing Normal University.
