UN: Iraq has executed 60 people this year
The United Nations mission in Iraq says at least 60 people have been executed in the country so far in 2014, expressing concern over possible "miscarriages of justice."
In a report issued Sunday, the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq said the figure accounted for executions during the first nine months of 2014. The report expressed concern over the growing use of the death penalty by Iraqi authorities since its restoration in 2005.
