Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Zimbabwe.[1] Despite its legality, Zimbabwe has not carried out any executions since 2005.[2] However, the country is classified as "Retentionist" due to a lack of "an established practice or policy against carrying out executions."[3] Zimbabwe abstained during the 2020 United Nations moratorium on the death penalty resolution.[4]
