    The headline makes it sound like the “in favour” votes were for death penalty, which is not correct. This was a vote for a moratorium - a temporary suspension - of death penalty.

      The only people who were confused are the ones who didn’t actually read the diagram.

        That’s no excuse for a misleading headline.

      Yeah I came here to ask about this, because Brazil voting in favor of the death penalty when it doesn’t have it did set off some alarms for me
