At least 13 people in Iraq have been executed on a single day this week, said Amnesty International, as the organisation called on the Iraqi authorities to halt all further executions.
On 22 April, at least 13 men were put to death in Nasiriyah Central Prison, in the southern governorate of Thi Qar, following their conviction on overly-broad and vague terrorism charges.
Amnesty is concerned that many more people may have been executed in secret amid a disturbing lack of transparency regarding executions in Iraq in recent months.
