布基纳法索议会全票恢复死刑：废除八年后，恐怖主义与叛国等罪重新可判死刑
布基纳法索司法部发表声明说，该国议会10月20日通过修订后的刑法典，恢复死刑。这距离布基纳法索2018年废除死刑不到十年。
据路透社报道，71名议员组成的议会全票通过该法案。司法部长 Edasso Rodrigue Bayala 代表政府提交法案。修订后的刑法典对恐怖主义、间谍、叛国，以及进口导致他人死亡的过期或违禁产品等罪行重新引入死刑。
布基纳法索多年来一直难以遏制与基地组织和伊斯兰国有关联的伊斯兰主义叛乱，有关暴力已造成数千人死亡、数百万人流离失所。政府称恢复死刑是应对叛乱的措施之一。Bayala 说，此前刑法典相对宽松的刑罚帮助了武装团体招募成员。
人权观察组织在部长会议去年首次批准该法案时表示，恢复死刑可能加深压制、固化恐惧氛围，并向军政府的批评者发出寒蝉信号。布基纳法索上一次已知的司法处决发生在1988年，国际特赦组织的数据显示该国2018年正式废除死刑。
Burkina Faso Parliament Unanimously Restores Death Penalty Eight Years After Abolition
Burkina Faso's parliament adopted a revised penal code on Tuesday, October 20, restoring the death penalty nearly a decade after the West African country abolished capital punishment, the Justice Ministry said in a statement.
According to Reuters, the 71-member assembly voted unanimously for the legislation after Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala presented the bill on behalf of the government. The revised code reintroduces the death penalty for crimes including terrorism, espionage, treason and importing expired or banned products that result in death, state-run media reported.
Burkina Faso has struggled for years to contain an Islamist insurgency linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State that has killed thousands of people and displaced millions. The government has presented the change as part of its response to that insurgency. Bayala said the relative lenience of the previous penal code helped armed groups recruit members.
Human Rights Watch said when the Council of Ministers first approved the bill last year that reinstating the death penalty could deepen repression, entrench a climate of fear and send a chilling message to critics of the military government. Burkina Faso abolished the death penalty in 2018. Its last known judicial execution was in 1988, according to Amnesty International.
