As the story demonstrates, Othmani is one of those rare individuals who moved from passion and conviction to effective action – he was responsible for the establishment of one of the world’s most reliable and mature human rights organizations, in the field of penal reform, Penal Reform International (PRI). His untimely death in Morocco in 2004 deprived the cause of a passionate advocate, but the work goes on.” \u003cb\u003e[From the Preface]\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eForeword\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRobert Badinter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMary Robinson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.
