IRAQ: 21 EXECUTION DECREES RECEIVED BY JUSTICE MINISTRY
August 15, 2015: Iraqi Justice Ministry reported receiving 21 presidential decrees for executing convicts charged with terrorism, after President Fuad Masum had announced, two days before, the endorsement of the long-awaited death sentences to âprotect the security of the society.â In a televised statement, he pointed that he approved the death sentences which were delayed for the last few years, fearing to be âvengeance casesâ among different Iraqi blocs.
