Algeria Considers Ending Death Penalty Moratorium
Algeria is moving towards reactivating the death penalty after more than three decades of suspension. Over the past six years, courts have issued at least 121 death sentences, despite the fact that executions have been halted since 1993. The government announced they are studying a draft law that would allow the actual implementation of this punishment for crimes such as arson and child kidnapping, prompting international human rights reactions warning of a deterioration in the country's human rights framework. Many see this as a regression from Algeria's commitment to the global principle of halting executions.
