08 January 2020 :

President of Equatorial Guinea, Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, has signed the resolution 426 which states that there will be no death penalty and that this moratorium will follow a process that has its procedures and will lead to the abolition of the penalty in that country. The decision follows a requirement made by the Community of Portuguese Language Speaking Countries (CPLP) to introduce a moratorium on capital punishment as a condition to join as full member the CPLP, where no country member applies it.
