Algerian Court of Cassation Deems El-Chomfi Execution Improper
A Court of Cassation in Bona reviewed the El-Chomfi case and upheld the death sentence for assassination but ruled the execution improper. The judge urged vindicating the law while lamenting the loss of life. Dupin argued the appeal was regular though it could not restore the condemned man.
