Abolitionist for ALL crimes, or ORDINARY crimes?

[edit]

Hello! I made several extensive edits to this article, but there was one thing that remained unclear to me.

I saw several articles saying that the death penalty was removed as a sentencing option entirely in Burkina Faso (which I assume would mean that the death penalty no longer remained as a sentencing option for military crimes/treason/espionage, etc.) — but I also saw several that said the country only abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes (like murder, arson, etc.) and that it remains a sentencing option for military crimes/treason/espionage, etc.

If anyone has any way of clarifying/confirming Burkina Faso's current death penalty law, and whether the death penalty still theoretically exists for military crimes or not, I think that would help make the article a bit clearer. Afddiary (talk) 18:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
