IRAQ: 14 PEOPLE HANGED IN ONE DAY

February 7, 2012: Iraq executed 14 people, most of them Al-Qaeda members, a senior justice ministry official said, bringing to at least 65 the number of executions so far this year.
"Fourteen Iraqis were executed yesterday (Tuesday)," the official said, asking not to be named. "They were convicted of terrorism and other crimes committed in 2006 and 2007." "Most of them are from Al-Qaeda, among them the wali (leader) of Mosul," the official said.
Justice Ministry spokesman Haider al-Saadi was quoted by the Iraqi Alsumaria News website as saying a leading militant in the self-styled Islamic State of Iraq was among those executed. He added that the executions were compliant with Iraq's anti-terrorism and penal codes.
The hangings bring the number of people executed in the first six weeks of this year close to the total of 68 for all of 2011.
Iraq executed 17 people on 31 January, Justice Minister Hassan al-Shammari was quoted in a statement at the time as saying.
Before those executions, ministry spokesman Haidar al-Saadi said the authorities had so far hanged 34 people this year, including two women and a Syrian.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has expressed shock at the number of executions, criticising the lack of transparency in court proceedings and calling for an immediate suspension of the death penalty. (Sources: AFP, Deutsche Presse-Agentur, 08/02/2012)
