Moroccan Coalition Against the Death Penalty (CMCPM)

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 key player in the fight against the death penalty. It contributed to the creation of numerous Moroccan abolitionist networks: the Network of Parliamentarians Against the Death Penalty in Morocco (2013), which originally comprised more than 250 parliamentarians of all political persuasions, apart from the Justice and Development Party; the Network of Lawyers Against the Death Penalty in Morocco (2013), which notably organises a pleading competition; the Network of Journalists Against the Death Penalty (2019); the Network of Teachers Against the Death Penalty (2020); and the Network of Entrepreneurs Against the Death Penalty (2022), the first network of its kind in the world.
