Iraq sentences to death 4 ISIS fighters handed over by SDF
[Rudaw] Four Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (ISIS) fighters captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and were sentenced to death by an Iraqi court on Sunday. Iraq is preparing cases against nearly 900 suspected jihadists.

"The main commission in the Karkh Criminal Court looked into the case of four convicts for belonging to ISIS terrorist gangs who carried criminal acts that targeted innocent civilians with the aim of destabilizing the security and stability inside Iraq and Syria," read a statement from Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.

They were charged under Iraq’s Anti-Terrorism Law (No. 13 of 2005) and sentenced to death by hanging.

These are the first individuals captured in Syria to be sentenced by Iraq’s justice system.

It follows an earlier death sentence handed down on Thursday by a federal court in Baghdad of an ISIS fighter found guilty of joining the group’s sniper battalion.

Human rights organizations including Amnesia Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have condemned Iraq’s fast-track courts, claiming they fail to exercise due process and extract forced confessions.

Iraq is among the world’s top five executioners, according to a recent Amnesty report.
But they have so many truly evil people to dispose of after years of ISIS atrocities that efficiency is the only alternative to criminally overcrowded jail cells.
