Capital punishment in the Central African Republic
Central African Republic death penalty
The Central African Republic has abolished capital punishment, after the National Assembly passed a bill abolishing it on 27 May 2022.[1][2][3] Prior to its abolition in law, the nation was considered "Abolitionist in Practice."[4][5] The country carried out its last executions, of six unnamed men, in January 1981.[6]
In 2018, Roland Achille Bangue-Betangai, the Chairman of the Legislation Committee of the Parliament of the Central African Republic, introduced a bill to abolish the death penalty in the country.[7] In March the following year, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Laurent Ngon-Baba, created a joint committee to examine the bill.[8]
