Burkina Faso's Legislative Assembly of the People unanimously upheld the death sentences imposed on the junta. Every member of the ALP, the country's legislative body, backed the vote. The assembly acted under the criminal code, which provides death as its highest punishment. The decision concerns those responsible for the coup, although the excerpt does not name each defendant. The report presents the assembly's action as a reaffirmation of the sentences rather than a new sentencing hearing. It does not give the vote date or indicate whether anyone sentenced intends to appeal.
