Capital punishment in Kyrgyzstan

Capital punishment in Kyrgyzstan has been abolished.[1]

On December 5, 1998, President Askar Akayev established a two-year moratorium on executions, which was subsequently renewed annually.[2]

On June 27, 2007 President Kurmanbek Bakiyev signed legislation amending Kyrgyzstan's Criminal Code and abolishing the death penalty.[2]

The Kyrgyzstan constitution was amended to state that:[2] "No one in the Kyrgyz Republic can be deprived of life."
