Several human rights group are calling on Morocco to change its penal code and become the first Arab nation to abolish the death penalty.
Morocco has not used the death penalty since 1994. There is a sense the nation is now ready to make an historic move.
Last month two Moroccans were sentenced to death for terrorism offences.
Only about 40 people have been executed in Morocco since independence - mostly for taking part in coup attempts against the former King Hassan II.
