Six Iraqis sentenced to death, three for "terrorism", were hanged on 30 August 2021 in a prison in southern Iraq, a medical source told AFP.
The source said the hangings took place in Nasiriyah prison, where death row prisoners are held.
Those not executed for "terrorism" were sentenced over "criminal cases".
According to an AFP tally, at least 14 people sentenced for "terrorism" have been executed in Iraq since the start of the year, all at the Nasiriyah prison.
Earlier this month, a man who murdered a senior Iraqi official in broad daylight was sentenced to death amid revulsion over the government's failure to halt a wave of assassinations.
In January, an official from Iraq's presidency told AFP more than 340 execution orders "for terrorism or criminal acts" were ready to be carried out.
