Iraq executions almost doubled in 2019: Amnesty
[Rudaw] Executions in Iraq skyrocketed in 2019, according to a new report published Tuesday by rights group Amnesia Amnesty International.

Iraq, Iran, and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
combined were responsible for 81 percent of global executions last year, the report found.

Executions in Iraq increased by 92 percent in 2019, the rights group said, with 100 confirmed death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
s carried out.

The spike in capital punishment is mainly attributed to the prosecution of suspected members of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (ISIS).

Human rights organizations have expressed concern at Iraq’s handling of legal proceedings against ISIS Death Eaters, labelled as "seriously flawed" by the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
."Throughout the year the mandatory death penalty
was used under anti-terrorism laws for a wide range of acts that do not meet the ’most serious crimes’ threshold required under international law," Amnesty’s report said.

Both Iraqi and Kurdish authorities have been criticized for their prosecution of individuals linked to the group, including the use of sweeping anti-terror laws which "fail to capture the broad range of crimes" committed by ISIS Death Eaters.

No executions were recorded in the Kurdistan Region, although 45 people were sentenced to death and 13 commutations granted by judiciary officials.
