Professor H. Hashimoto speaks on Human Rights

On January 25th we were treated to a talk by Prof. Hidetoshi Hashimoto, Department of Political Science at ETSU. I, for one, was surpirsed that the mild-mannered Hashimoto turned out to be such a lively speaker on the topics of world travel and International human rights.

One of the compelling points from Dr. Hashimoto was that the top six countries carrying out the death penalty are China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, United States and Iraq. More people are executed in Texas than in all of Europe.
