Rewatching the last episode of Sherlock. The first scene still annoys me ridiculously because he won't get "hung" or "hanged", if sentenced to death, he'll get shot. Execution in Belarus* is by firing squad. But, by all means, don't let the facts get in the way of a half-assed punchline.

*Belarus, the only country in Europe to still have the death

I thought Turkey had the death penalty? Did they get rid of it recently or have I just been making things up?

I am not judging, I am buuurning with envy. And wishing they'd used the brown pinstripe instead of the electric blue, but I am finicky that way. (It is fandom, I am surely allowed?)

They got rid of it in '04 in order to be able to join the EU. (Beeb)

I recalled correctly! Well done, memory.

That's what I was thinking of! I just didn't recall how the matter ended. ...or that it was six years ago. Dear god, self.

They banned earlier this decade as part of negotiations for accession into the EU.

I already have maybe several brown suits so that was A Nice Thing, yes. Ahem.
