    		Wikipedia says:

    "In the Fiftieth Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights (1994), local bishops reported several cases of crucifixion of Christian priests. Sudan's Penal Code, based upon the government's interpretation of Shari'a, provides for execution by crucifixion. The sentence has been passed as recently as 2002, when 88 people were condemned."

    It did not say anywhere that crucifixion has been since outlawed.

    		Sadly that seems to be the case according to this site.
