Capital punishment was a legal penalty in Zambia until 2022. Despite its former legality, the country's last execution was in 1997. Zambia was considered "Abolitionist in Practice".[1]
There were at least 9 new death sentences in Zambia in 2021. 257 people were on death row at the end of 2021.[2]
On 25 May 2022, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema announced that the death penalty would soon be abolished in Zambia.[3][4]
On 23 December 2022, capital punishment was officially abolished, though it remains in some military statutes.[5]
