At the conclusion of the workshop held by the Maat Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Studies in cooperation and coordination with the International Criminal Reform Organization and the Amman Center for Human Rights Studies under the title (Death Penalty ... and the Right to Life), I announced the establishment of the Egyptian Coalition Against the Death Penalty. The founders of the coalition, including civil society organizations, public figures, partisans and trade unions, emphasized that the goal of the coalition is to restrict the use of the death penalty to its narrowest limits, which is premeditated murder, premeditation, and work on and abolishing the articles contained in the Egyptian law that stipulate the application of the death penalty widely. Especially in crimes of a political nature and crimes of opinion.
Especially since the global trend is moving towards abolishing this penalty, or at least freezing it and replacing it with another punishment
The Maat Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Studies was chosen as coordinator of the coalition and its spokesman.
From here, the coalition invites all institutions and personalities and every citizen interested in defending the right to life to join the alliance (the membership form to join the alliance is attached, and please send the form by e-mail)
For workshop participants, please confirm joining the alliance by sending the joining form to add it to the list of founders
