Al-Jazair approves death penalty law

The Algerian National Assembly approved an amended law allowing the reintroduction of the death penalty in the country, after its suspension since 1993. The move aims to respond to serious crimes such as deliberate arson, sabotage for foreign interests, treason, and crimes against security, economic stability, and the environment, in addition to child kidnapping and assault. Constitutional procedures must be completed before the law can be implemented. The law reflects the government's intention to strengthen deterrence against crimes related to drugs, attacks on children, and deadly fires—especially following a wave of fires that resulted in dozens of deaths. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune reaffirmed that the punishment would be carried out once the right to appeal is exhausted, amid criticisms from Amnesty International, which called for a halt to the expansion of the use of the death penalty.
