Additionally, As ‘World Day Against the Death Penalty’ approaches, The Gambia in Western Africa has introduced the death penalty for drug possession.
October 10, 2010 marks the 8th World Day Against the Death Penalty. In contrast, The Gambia, on Monday, amended the Principal Act of the Drug Control and introduced the death penalty for any individual found in possession of more than 250 grams of cocaine or heroine. Previously, the penalty for such possession was a jail sentence lasting 30-40 years.
