Algeria Grants Death Penalty for Arson and Kidnapping

The Algerian Parliament approved a bill allowing the execution of death sentences for perpetrators of deliberately starting wildfires and kidnapping children. This came after extensive fires swept through the country last August, causing significant human and material losses. The law specifies the death penalty for cases of arson committed intentionally or for the kidnapping of children, without providing any mitigating circumstances. To pass, the bill requires approval by the National Council with a three-quarters majority and the ratification of the President. Although the penalty has been present in Algerian legislation since 1993, its implementation has been halted ever since.
