Capital punishment in Zimbabwe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Capital punishment was abolished in Zimbabwe in 2024.[1] Despite death penalty remaining on the country's statute books as a legal punishment until 2024, Zimbabwe did not carry out any executions after 2005.[2] Zimbabwe abstained during the 2020 United Nations moratorium on the death penalty resolution.[3]
