The report, "Belarus and Uzbekistan: the last executioners. The trend towards abolition in the former Soviet space" notes that both countries are the only remaining states from the former Soviet Union that still carry out the death penalty. Not only are both criminal justice systems seriously flawed, but neither the prisoners nor their relatives are told of the execution dates. Furthermore, the inmate's body is not turned over to the relatives, and relatives are not told of the burial's location.
