Capital punishment in Equatorial Guinea

Capital punishment, or death penalty, is no longer a legal punishment in Equatorial Guinea.

The last execution took place in 2014. Equatorial Guinea is required to have a moratorium on executions in order to become a full member of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries.

There is currently no one on death row in Equatorial Guinea, as of 24 May 2022. There were no death sentences handed down in the country in 2021.
