64-year-old Harold Nichols became the 46th prisoner executed in the United States this year. Thus, the number of executions in the country this year has reached its highest level in the last 15 years.

Axar.az reports that the US Death Penalty Information Center published information about this.

According to the information, the last time so many people were executed in the United States was in 2010.

It should be noted that the execution of the death penalty in the United States was suspended in 2021 as part of a moratorium imposed by former President Joe Biden. Donald Trump, who returned to power in January of this year, lifted the moratorium.
