Capital punishment in Hungary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Hungary the last man was hanged for the crime of murder on the 31st of May 1988. Capital punishment was completely abolished on the 24th of October 1990 by the Constitutional Court. A month later on the 1st of December 1990 protocol No. 6 to the ECHR came into force. Hungary later adopted the Second Optional Protocol to the ICCPR as well.
