Zimbabwe Abolishes Death Penalty Following Legislative Approval

Credited from: VOANEWS

  • Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has signed a bill abolishing the death penalty into law as of December 31, 2024.
  • The abolition follows Mnangagwa’s personal history with capital punishment during the colonial era, where he survived a death sentence.
  • The bill was introduced by opposition MP Edwin Mushoriwa and reflects a growing movement to respect human rights in Zimbabwe.
  • Human rights organizations have welcomed this decision, noting Zimbabwe joins two-thirds of the world in abolishing capital punishment.
  • However, there are concerns from some communities that the abolition may lead to increased violence, as capital punishment was seen as a deterrent.
