阿尔及利亚国民议会周四投票通过法案，规定故意纵火导致森林、树林或田地燃烧的人可面临死刑1。同时，涉及刑讯逼供、性侵犯或残害的儿童绑架罪也被列为死刑罪名1。司法部长洛夫蒂·布杰马表示，"对这些犯罪采取死刑是遏制这些犯罪的适当法律回应"1。
这一立法行动源于该国近期遭受的严重火灾灾难。北非强烈热浪引发阿尔及利亚东北部100多场火灾1。官方称火灾死亡人数为12人，但独立新闻机构的统计数字远高于此，一名调查记者统计的死亡人数为200人1。司法部指控纵火行为达到"有组织犯罪"水平，并称调查显示与"外国势力"存在关联1。阿尔及利亚自1993年以来未执行过死刑1。
Algeria's National Assembly voted on Thursday to impose capital punishment on individuals convicted of deliberately setting fires that destroy forests, woodlands, or agricultural land.1 The legislative measure also designated child abduction involving torture, sexual assault, or mutilation as a capital offense.1
The bill was ordered by President Tebboune following a severe heat wave that sparked over one hundred fires across the country's northeastern region.1 While government officials reported twelve deaths from the blazes, independent news outlets and investigative journalists disputed this figure significantly, with one researcher documenting two hundred fatalities.1 Justice Minister Lofti Boudjemaa stated that "applying the death penalty to these crimes is the appropriate legal response to deter them,"1 as the Justice Ministry characterized the arson incidents as reaching the level of "organized crime" with alleged connections to "foreign powers."1
Despite the new legislation, Algeria has not carried out executions since 1993.1
