DEATH SENTENCES TIN DEPENDENT TERRITORIES
As requested, attached below is a table of executions setting out by individual territories the number of executions which have been carried out in the period 1965-1970 and showing the years in which the executions took place. In the case of Turks and Caicos Islands precise records are only available up to the end of 1968, but West Indian and Atlantic Department are reasonably sure that there have been no executions in that territory since 1968.
