    Third Libyan executed in Iraq

    A Libyan convicted of murder in Iraq has been executed in Baghdad, despite apparent assurances for the Iraqi authorities that he would not be hanged for at least a year.

    Adel Zuwai is the third Libyan to be executed in Iraq. Two others were hanged in 2011, also the killing of Iraqi citizens.

    Taha Shakshuki of the NGO Libyan Prisoners Abroad told the Libya Herald that the execution of Adel Zuwai had not been expected. This was in part because the LPA had been given to understand that the next Libyan to die was to be a man called Abdulsatar Shalmani.

    Zuwai was in fact executed on 7 November. However, news of his death was only confirmed yesterday. His brother said that the family had received no information about the execution, nor had they been able to retrieve his body.

    Along with Shalmani, two other Libyans are believed to be on death row. All have been convicted of involvement in the murder of Iraqi citizens. At one point there were up to 14 Libyans convicted of a range of serious offences, some of whom had been sentenced to life or 30 years imprisonment. However as a result of negotiations between Tripoli and Baghdad, this spring five Libyans were granted an amnesty and sent home.

    Iraq executes 11 prisoners over terror charges

    The Iraqi Ministry of Justice on Tuesday said it executed 11 convicted prisoners 2 days ago over terror charges, despite international calls on Baghdad to end the death penalty in the country.

    A statement issued by the ministry said that the convicts were all Iraqi men, adding the executions were carried out on Sunday after the presidency approved their penalties according to the Iraqi law.

    The increasing of executions in Iraq sparked calls to stop use of capital punishment by the UN mission in Iraq, the European Union and some international human rights groups, which have criticized the lack of transparency in the proceedings of the Iraqi courts.

    Death penalty in Iraq was suspended on June 10, 2003, but was reinstated on Aug. 8, 2004.
