AFP: CAR parliament calls for abolition of death penalty in country

The decision was made by acclamation - on the basis of the "informal reaction" of the participants in the discussion.

In the future, the bill will go to the signature of the President of the Central African Republic, Fausten Touadera.

It is specified that the last death penalty in the Central African Republic dates back to 1981.

In January, the authorities of Papua New Guinea abolished the law on the death penalty in the country 30 years after the re-introduction, all those sentenced to it will be replaced with life imprisonment.
