Algeria takes decisive legal step
The Algerian government has introduced a new law that will carry the death penalty against individuals who commit arson, a measure announced in the wake of catastrophic wildfires that killed more than 200 people in the country’s north‑east during the summer.[1]
The Summer’s Devastating Wildfires
Blazes that swept across the north‑east region over the course of the summer, claiming a toll that exceeds 200 deaths, prompted the swift reaction from the authorities.[1]
