Algerian Parliament Approves Penal Code

The Algerian Parliament members approved an amended law today, Thursday, that enhances punishments for arson and child kidnapping crimes by reactivating the death penalty. The law stipulates punishing those who intentionally set fire to forests and fields, especially if done for the benefit of foreign parties, organized crime, or to attack national security, public order, or the environment. It also tightens penalties for child abductors, particularly if the crime involves torture or sexual assault, reaffirming that offenders will not benefit from any mitigating circumstances.
