Campaign Launched to Save 6 Moroccans from Death Penalty in Somalia

A campaign has been launched to save six Moroccans from facing the death penalty in Somalia’s regional state of Southwest.

A group of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from Morocco launched the campaign this week.

The NGOs wrote to the Moroccan government to intervene in the matter and rescue the six nationals who were sentenced to death for their ties with the ISIS terror group.

Some of the NGOs who want them saved include Lawyers Network Against the Death Penalty and the Moroccan Coalition Against the Death Penalty.

The Association for Justice and Fair Trials is part of the campaign too.

The Moroccans in question are Ridwan Abdulkadir Osmany, Ahmed Hussein Ibrahim, Mohamed Hassan, Mohamed Binu Mohamed Ahmed, Khalid Latha, and Ahmed Najwi.
