“Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa has approved a law that abolishes the death penalty in the southern African state with immediate effect…

Mnangagwa’s move comes after Zimbabwe’s parliament voted earlier in December to scrap the death penalty.

Zimbabwe last carried out an execution by hanging in 2005, but its courts continued to hand down the death sentence for serious crimes like murder.

About 60 people were on death row at the end of 2023, according to Amnesty.”
