Federal Appeals Court ratifies 15 death verdicts
2008-06-24
(VOI) – The Federal Appeals Court's general committee ratified 15 death verdicts that were issued by different courts throughout Iraq, the Supreme Judicial Council's official spokesperson said on Monday. "The Court of Appeals ratified the death verdict issued by Thi-Qar criminal court against two convicted people, for kidnapping and killing a citizen," Judge Abdul-Sattar al-Berqdar told al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI). "The court approved the death verdict issued by Mosul criminal court, according to the terror law, against five convicted people, for kidnapping a citizen for ransom," he added.

"It ratified a verdict issued by Baghdad central criminal court, to execute two convicted people, for abduction," he noted. "It also approved two execution verdicts issued by Basra criminal court, and others by the criminal courts in Karbala, Diala, and Wassit to execute four convicted people for killing and robbery crimes," he explained.

#3  Do we still stretch necks in the U.S. or is that considered inhumane punishment?

#2  Hang 'em in a public square, so all can see that justice has been done. Hanging is a humiliating way to die, and will be a good deterrent against further crimes against the people of Iraq.

#1  Now, capital punishment, which never bothered "the world" while saddam was doing it, will become a source of heartburn. And, of course, it's only because of G.W. Bush that they're doing it, you know..
