Govt reviews death penalty for arsonists
The Algerian President, Abdel Madjid Tebboune, has instructed the amendment of the penal code to establish and implement the death penalty for those involved in deliberately setting fires. This comes after a series of massive fires swept through the eastern and central regions of the country, resulting in significant human and material losses. He pointed to strong suspicions of criminal hands behind the fires, noting that many of them broke out simultaneously and spread quickly without wind, emphasizing that society and justice will seek their due. Additionally, security forces and specialized teams have begun extensive investigations to gather evidence and determine the causes. Efforts are also underway to compensate those affected and restore normal life through repairing water, electricity, and communication networks.
