Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has outlined conditions for reinstating the death penalty in Algeria, which has been under a moratorium since 1993. The president specified that the penalty would only be considered for two specific crimes, though details of those crimes were not immediately released. This decision comes as part of a broader revision of the Penal Code. Tebboune’s statement defines the framework for the possible resumption of executions after nearly three decades. The move signals a potential shift in Algeria’s judicial approach to certain severe offenses. Further details regarding the proposed changes to the Penal Code are expected to be released as the revision process continues. The article originally appeared on TSA.
