The execution van, also called a mobile execution unit, was developed by the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC)[citation needed] and was first used in 1997.[citation needed] The prisoner is strapped to a stretcher and executed inside the van.[citation needed] The van allows death sentences to be carried out without moving the prisoner to an execution ground.
The vans also require less staffing, requiring four people to assist with the injection and are mobile.[citation needed] The PRC states[citation needed] that the vans are more humane than previous forms of execution. In 2004, Amnesty International raised concerns that the execution rate in China might increase because of mobile capital punishment.[1] However, the number of executions dropped steadily in the 2000s, and significantly since 2007, when the Supreme People's Court regained the power to review all death sentences.[2][3][4][5] Human rights groups have reported that China carries out the highest number of executions of any country.[5] The Dui Hua Foundation put the number at 5,000 to 6,000 for 2007 and 2,400 for 2013,[2] and in 2019, Amnesty International reported that mainland China executes more people than all other countries combined.[6]
