Algeria has significantly tightened its anti-drug legislation, demonstrating a harsher stance against narcotics trafficking. The decision to construct a high-security prison in the Tanezrouft desert specifically for drug traffickers has been implemented. On Monday, October 5th, the first death sentences were handed down to individuals convicted of drug trafficking. This follows a substantial seizure of 113 kg of cocaine, indicating an escalation in enforcement efforts. The judicial system is actively pursuing stringent penalties for those involved in the drug trade within Algeria. These initial sentences signal a new phase in Algeria's fight against drug-related criminal activity and are intended to deter further offenses. The move reflects a commitment to combating drug trafficking within its borders.
