Student Demands Ending Morocco Death Penalty
The Moroccan authorities are calling for the abolition of the death penalty from national legislation, emphasizing the need to move from mere suspension to full and definitive abolition, including previously issued sentences. This aims to enhance Morocco's human rights credibility and demonstrate its commitment to the global campaign against the death penalty. Although executions have not been carried out since 1993, the death penalty remains legal. Experts stress the importance of officially abolishing it, drawing inspiration from Lebanon, which abolished the death penalty in 2026 with retroactive application to previous cases. It is noted that 56 individuals currently sentenced to death in Morocco await resolution of their cases, and there are calls to enact retroactive abolition of the penalty. Additionally, Morocco is urged to join the international Protocol on the abolition of the death penalty and to strengthen civil society and political efforts toward achieving this goal.
