CY CASE: Death Penalty: The Fight for Abolitionism in France and Canada

A guillotine (image source: pixabay ) For as long as we know, the death penalty was used in France as the capital penalty for a various list of crimes, which changed through time, from the most insignificant to the most serious infraction.
