Capital punishment in Algeria

Last updated

Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Algeria. Despite its legality, the last executions in the country were carried out in 1993, of seven unnamed Islamic terrorists. Due to a lack of executions in over ten years, Algeria is considered to be an abolitionist-in-practice. [1] [2]

Algeria's execution method is firing squad. Capital punishment legally remains for a variety of offences including treason, espionage, aggravated murder, counterfeiting, terrorism, torture, kidnapping, aggravated theft, some military offences, attempting a capital crime, some cases of recidivism, and capital perjury. [3]

Algeria voted in favor of all eight UN moratorium on the death penalty resolutions, in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020. [4] It has also been a co-sponsor since at least the 2012 resolution. [5]
