Moroccan human rights organizations are calling on the government and parliament to expedite the abolition of the death penalty in Morocco. The appeal came during a meeting in Rabat, where Amina Bouayach, president of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH), addressed the newly appointed government and parliament. Currently, 55 individuals in Morocco are under a death sentence. The organizations emphasize the need to end capital punishment, advocating for a more humane legal system. This push follows a period of debate surrounding the use of the death penalty within the country. The organizations hope for swift action from the legislative bodies. This plea reflects a growing movement towards universal abolition of the death penalty globally.
