Zimbabwe Ends Death Penalty After Nearly 20 Years

Credited from: SCMP

  • Zimbabwe has officially abolished the death penalty, a development anticipated due to the country's lack of executions for almost two decades.
  • President Emmerson Mnangagwa approved the law following parliamentary approval; he had faced the death penalty himself during the independence struggle.
  • The new legislation ensures that approximately 60 death row prisoners will no longer face execution.
  • Amnesty International hailed this move as a beacon of hope for abolitionist efforts in the region.
  • Despite positive steps by other African nations, Zimbabwe's decision marks a significant milestone in the global push against capital punishment.
