Parliament Reviews Death Penalty Abolishment Bill
Written by Staff Reporter on November 27, 2024
The Parliament of Zimbabwe is set to review a bill aimed at abolishing the death penalty, marking a significant step in the country’s shift toward human rights reform.
In a recent address, President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa confirmed that the Parliament is deliberating on several legislative measures, including the removal of the death penalty.
The Cabinet approved the bill in February 2024, paving the way for legislative debate and approval. If passed, this move will further Zimbabwe’s efforts to align with global standards on limiting and ultimately abolishing capital punishment.
