Iran has executed 10 people who were sentenced to death on terrorism charges, security sources said.
The executions by hanging took place in a prison in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah.
Those executed were Iraqi citizens, according to the same sources.
What charges were they facing?
The 10 men were convicted of joining the terrorist organization Islamic State and committing “serious terrorist crimes,” according to the same sources.
In April, 11 more men sentenced to death on terrorism charges were executed in Iraq, prompting criticism from Amnesty International, which expressed concern that many more people may have been executed in secret.
