Algeria Justice Minister Vows Fair Arson Trials

Algerian Minister of Justice Lotfi Boujemaa pledged to ensure fair trials for anyone accused of crimes punishable by death. He pointed out that the government has decided to activate the death penalty in cases of arson, and the kidnapping and mistreatment of children. This move comes in response to the rising number of fires that have resulted in dozens of deaths, as well as the increasing crimes of child kidnapping. The legal amendments include stricter penalties, among them the death penalty, and have been expanded to cover arson of forests and property for the benefit of foreign parties. Human rights organizations have issued warnings, expressing concerns over the ongoing violations of human rights, despite the fact that executions have been halted in Algeria since 1993. This step is part of broader efforts to combat crime, especially drug trafficking, following the seizure of millions of pills and large quantities of hard drugs, and the conversion of a military prison in the desert into a detention center for major drug traffickers.
