(VOI) -- Three death sentences out of 25 were approved by the Court of Appeals, and will be carried out according to their sequence, Diwaniya criminal investigations director said on Tuesday. 'The Iraqi Court of Appeals enacted death verdicts to execute three convicted people out of 25, who have been handed down death verdicts by Diwaniya's federal court,' Lieutenant Colonel Sattar Ali Mattar told Aswat al-Iraq -- Voices of Iraq -- (VOI). 'The 25 verdicts will be carried out in sequence, after the Iraqi Court of Appeals approves them,' he said. 'Carrying out these verdicts will enforce limits for criminals who violated the sanctity of Iraqi society,' he added. Diwaniya police arrested 25 out of 50 members of the special groups, during the implementation of Fardh al-Qanoon (Law Imposing) plan in Diwaniya, who were later convicted of committing killing and abduction crimes.
