Iraqi courts review 5700 detainees including children
The article addresses the indictment of hundreds of individuals from 67 countries, including 157 children, who are detained in Iraq on charges of belonging to or supporting the Islamic State organization. The trials began on September 20, 2024, amid human rights concerns over the potential use of confessions obtained through torture and the possibility of mass trials that could result in death sentences, in accordance with Iraqi counter-terrorism laws. The international organization warns against the treatment of children as suspects and calls for ensuring fair trials and humane treatment, especially given the harsh detention conditions that led to the deaths of hundreds of detainees in Syrian camps before their transfer to Iraq. In 2024, Iraq carried out more than 63 executions, with executions resuming in early 2026 after a period of calm, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
