Algeria Fires: President Calls for Death Penalty
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has called for reinstating the death penalty for arsonists following over 100 recent wildfires in the northeast of the country that killed at least 12 people. He ordered changes to the criminal law to implement capital punishment for those convicted of intentionally starting fires, with a deadline set for September 15. The fires, exacerbated by a heatwave and climate change, caused widespread damage, injuries, and displacement, prompting investigations and plans for compensation.
