Capital punishment, or death penalty, is no longer a legal punishment in Equatorial Guinea.

The last execution took place in 2014. Equatorial Guinea is required to have a moratorium on executions in order to become a full member of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.[1][2][3]

There is currently no one on death row in Equatorial Guinea, as of 24 May 2022. There were no death sentences handed down in the country in 2021.[4]

Abolition

[edit]

On 19 September 2022, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo signed a new penal code that abolished the death penalty, according to a tweet sent by Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue.[5][6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
