Zimbabwe hasn't executed anyone who was sentenced to death since 2005.
With the passing of the Death Penalty Abolition Act 2024 on December 31, Zimbabwe has become the 127th country in the world to end death penalty.
This process began with the introduction to Parliament of an opposition private member's Bill led by Edwin Mushoriwa, though some amendments were made by the government.
Other countries, too, have been moving away from the death penalty.
