Amnesty Urges Algeria to Drop Death Penalty Expansion

Amnesty International Algeria has called for a halt to the expansion of the death penalty following the authorities' decision to impose it on those who set deadly wildfires. This comes after a wave of fires that resulted in the deaths of more than 70 people, including cases in specific municipalities. The Algerian government had begun studying amendments to the law, which would include the imposition of the death penalty for the hijacking and mistreatment of children, amid climate crises and criminal charges related to the fires. The organization's report emphasizes that executions of accused individuals have not been carried out since 1993, and it calls for an official halt to the enforcement of such sentences and the complete abolition of the penalty.
