An Iraqi criminal court has sentenced over two dozen men to death for their alleged involvement in the 2014 Speicher massacre by the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group in the north-central province of Salahuddin, Press TV reports.
The Central Criminal Court of Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council on Tuesday handed down death penalty to 27 suspects who aided Daesh Takfiris to carry out the horrific carnage, the Arabic-language al-Sumeria television news agency quoted Abdul-Sattar Bairaqdar, the council’s spokesperson, as saying.
He also said that 25 other suspects in the case were released due to the lack of evidence against them, adding that the rulings could be appealed at the Court of Cassation.
