Countries that still stone people include:
- Afghanistan
- Iran
- Nigeria
- Pakistan
- Saudi Arabia
- Somalia
- Sudan
- Yemen
In some of these countries, stoning is the only method of execution, while in others it is used in addition to other methods such as hanging or firing squad.
The use of stoning as a form of punishment has been widely condemned by human rights organisations and governments around the world. It is considered a cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment, and it violates the right to life and the prohibition on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment under international law.
Efforts have been made in many countries to abolish or reduce the use of stoning, and some progress has been made in recent years. However, stoning still remains a significant problem in some parts of the world.
