In a statement, the appeal on Monday said it concluded the cases of the two convicts.
Following the conclusion of testimonials and evidence brought during the hearing of two men’s appeal, the Court of Appeal backed an earlier ruling which found two guilty of taking acts to destabilize the country.
According to the statement, the court has upheld the initial ruling of the first-degree court ruling the two death sentence.
The court said that Anshur Osman Abukar and Mohammed Alio Borrow confessed to taking part al-Shabaab attacks including one in Mogadishu.
Human rights groups have accused Somali military court previously for executions of suspects with unclear investigations, claiming the convicts were denied a chance to defend themselves.
