Algeria Prepares Law to Hike Forest Fire Penalties
President Abdelmadjid Tebboune of Algeria has issued a directive to amend the Penal Code to include the death penalty for those who deliberately set fires in forests. This move comes in response to a recent wave of wildfires that resulted in the death of 12 people. The measure aims to curb the growing number of forest fires and address the worsening environmental situation by deterring arson and protecting natural resources. No details have been provided about the implementation date of the amendment or other aspects of the new legal procedures.
