After the US occupation of Iraq in 2003, holy warrior groups emerged in the country, including al-Qaeda, which grabbed credit for kidnappings and killings of civilians, and foreign and Iraqi soldiers.

A 2005 Iraq law carries the death penalty
for anyone convicted of terrorism, which can include membership in an holy warrior group even if they are not accused of specific acts. In January, Iraq approved death sentences for more than 340 people with charged with terrorism and other criminal offenses.

International observers have expressed concern about the trials and detention conditions of people held on terror charges, including the use of the death penalty for both Iraqi and foreign nationals convicted of involvement with ISIS, the use of violence and torture in prisons, and overcrowding in facilities holding ISIS suspects and their families.
