The Algerian People's National Assembly approved changes to the penal code to increase the penalty to the death sentence for crimes such as arson and property destruction related to treason, espionage, or organized crimes, as well as child kidnapping—especially when committed alongside torture or sexual assault. The amendment includes raising the punishment for arson from 20 years in prison to the death penalty, and elevating child kidnapping from life imprisonment to the death penalty in certain cases. This decision comes after a wave of fires in Algeria that resulted in 12 deaths, and President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's call for imposing the death penalty on arsonists after exhausting the right to appeal. It is worth noting that Algeria has not carried out an execution since 1993, despite the existence of death sentences. The law will now be presented to the Council of the Nation for final approval before being published in the official gazette.
