The Iraqi Judiciary has upheld death sentences against more than a dozen convicts involved in a June 2014 massacre by Daesh Takfiri terrorists at an air force camp in the country\u2019s north-central province of Salahuddin.<\/p>\n
Head of the Committee for the Commemoration of the carnage, Moin al-Kazemi, said in a statement that Iraqi judicial officials passed the ruling on 14 convicts on Sunday, urging the officials to carry out the sentences as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
On June 12, 2014, Daesh terrorists killed around 1,700 Iraqi air force cadets after kidnapping them from Camp Speicher, a former US base. There were reportedly around 4,000 unarmed cadets in the camp when it came under attack by Daesh militants.<\/p>\n
Following the abductions, the attackers took the victims to the complex of presidential palaces and killed them. The terrorists also threw some of the bodies into a river.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The massacre was filmed by Daesh and broadcast on social media.<\/p>\n
An investigation committee later revealed that 57 members of Saddam Hussein\u2019s Ba\u2019ath Party aided Takfiri Daesh terrorists in the massacre.<\/p>\n
On August 21, 2016, Iraqi judiciary officials hanged 36 men convicted of involvement in the carnage.<\/p>\n
