Death sentences resume in Russia-backed Libya as West condemns
Original: Death sentences return to Russia-backed North African nation as U.S. warns citizens and EU condemns executions for terrorism and murder crimes
Death sentences have returned in a Russia-backed North African nation, widely understood to be Libya, for crimes of terrorism and murder. The United States has issued a warning to its citizens in the country, while the European Union has condemned the resumption of executions. The development marks a reversal of a halt on capital punishment and has drawn sharp criticism from Western governments.
Why now: Western governments have publicly rebuked the resumption of executions, and a US citizen warning has heightened international concern.
