"The Penal Code in Morocco: Reality and Perspectives" conference was held between 9 and 11 December in Meknes under the patronage of King Mohammed VI and Minister of Justice Mohamed Bouzoubaa. In the closing session on Saturday night, a number of recommendations were made. In the past, such recommendations became law. Much of the discussion focused on human rights conventions, freedom of information and expression, the police, international conventions, medical law, the death penalty and fiscal fraud. One of the conventions discussed was the abolition of the death penalty. Moroccan legislators pointed out that the death penalty has not been enforced since 1993 and has never been carried out against a child. (albawaba.com)

“An Open Letter to all Foreign Powers: “Pro” Human Rights and “Contre” the destabilization of the Arab-Muslim countries.” Morocco has forever been a country of human rights, but Moroccan want laws that respect our traditions and our constitution And respect us as Arabs and Muslims. Some speak of human rights that permit them to destabilize Arab-Muslim countries under the protection of foreign lobbyists. They profit from slogans that ring about new pressures for programs which wrench destabilization and will make an Iraq out of all the Arab countries in the future.
