Moroccan Coalition Against the Death Penalty (CMCPM)

The Moroccan Coalition Against the Death Penalty (CMCPM) is an informal coalition of human rights promotion and protection associations. Founded in 2003 on the sidelines of an international seminar on the death penalty organised by the Moroccan Prison Observatory, the CMCPM quickly became a prominent voice in the abolitionist movement and has played a fundamental role in opening the debate on the death penalty in Morocco. It serves as a national mechanism for coordinating the efforts of Moroccan defenders to protect the right to life in all circumstances and has contributed to the creation of numerous Moroccan abolitionist networks (parliamentarians, lawyers, teachers, etc.).
