Algerian law retains capital punishment
The National Commissioner for the Protection and Promotion of Childhood, Mariam Sharfi, confirmed that the directives of President Abdelmajid Tebboune regarding the amendment of the penal code have been embodied in the draft law, especially in protecting children and property from serious crimes. She explained that the death penalty has not been abolished from Algerian legislation; rather, its scope of application has been reduced, with calls to reinstate it as a deterrent against heinous crimes. During the discussions, officials emphasized the importance of amending the law to ensure justice is achieved, while respecting Algeria's legislative sovereignty in its dealings with international treaties.
