Iraqi courts have sentenced to death a total of more than 300 people

The latest news of mass death sentence shocked the world; Iraqi courts have sentenced to death a total of more than 300 people, including many foreigners, for belonging to the Islamic State group, judicial sources reported Wednesday.

The suspects are being attempted by two courts, one near the former jihadist stronghold of Mosul in northern Iraq and another in Baghdad which is dealing notably with foreigners and women.

Since January in the capital, 103 foreign nationals have been condemned to death — including six Turks sentenced on Wednesday — and 185 to life in prison, according to a judicial source.

Most of the women sentenced were from Turkey and republics of the former Soviet Union.

In January, an Iraqi court condemned a German woman to death sentence after proving her guilty of belonging to Islamic State while on Tuesday a French woman was sentenced to life in prison.
