At least 27 convicted drug criminals were executed in China to mark
Wednesday's international anti-drug day, while scores of others were
sentenced to death or to prison terms, state press reports said.

Fourteen people were sentenced to death in China's southwestern
Sichuan province on Tuesday, with nine of them immediately taken to
the execution grounds and shot, the China News Service reported.

China does not publish statistics on executions numbers. Rights
group Amnesty International documented 2,468 last year, but has
suggested the true figure could be much higher.
