South Sudan

South Sudan carried out two executions in 2017. In 2018, it sent two men to death: James Gadet, former SPLM-IO Spokesperson, and South African William Endley, a former advisor to rebel leader, Riek Machar.

South Sudan uses hanging as the method of execution for crimes such as murder, drug trafficking, terrorism, treason and military offences.
