BAGHDAD, Iraq — Three former candidates for Iraqi parliament were arrested and executed by the Islamic State on Saturday, according to member of parliament in Baghdad.
Iraqi parliamentarian Salim Joma told Rudaw on Saturday that the Sharia courts of ISIS issued death sentences for three ex-candidates who stood for office in the recent Iraqi parliament election. He said all three were arrested and executed in the northern district of Mosul city.
“The victims included Salem Badrani, Khalil Naeimy and Farough Shamari. They were arrested in their own homes and all shot dead,” Joma said.
Since June 10, 2014, ISIS militants have occupied Mosul, the second largest city of Iraq. Since the group took over, many former politicians, soldiers and police officers have been executed.
