Algeria Blames Foreign Interference for Fires
Algeria intends to amend the Penal Code to effectively impose the death penalty on those who deliberately set fires, especially in forests and public and private properties. This move aims to strengthen deterrence against arson crimes, which are sometimes suspected of being linked to foreign parties. The amendment seeks to address the increasing frequency of forest fires and the evolving methods of such crimes. Currently, the penalties cover deliberate arson related to attempts to destabilize security and threaten stability and public order, with a focus on protecting the environment and the economy. The expected passage of the amendments is likely to be smooth, given the government-supporting parliamentary majority. In certain cases, particularly those involving harm to national security and external conspiracy, the death penalty could be applied.
