According to AFP, Chad’s MPs voted unanimously to abolish the death penalty for terrorist acts.
In the early 2000s, a moratorium on the death penalty was introduced in Chad. At the end of 2014, the death penalty was abolished, but in the summer of 2015 it was again restored due to attacks by Boko Haram militants *.
In March, it was reported that at least 92 members of the Chadian army were killed in an attack by the militants of the Boko Haram terrorist group.
* "Boko Haram" - a group sworn allegiance to the IG.
“Islamic State” (IG) - the organization was recognized as terrorist by a decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of December 29, 2014.
