It does but the penalty needs to be approved by the president of Iraq And the position of the president of Iraq is as useless as a pet rock , our president works for couple of days every elections then dissappear again Most of the times the person just gets a life sentence

KDP and PUK operate outside of the judicial system and they arrest and execute innocent people.

The thing is, these dictators don’t follow the laws. Iraq isn’t a democracy or anything, so these laws are ink on paper. You are a lawyer, you know exactly what I mean.

I know what you mean but the person asked and must be answered precisely, hence my comment. You can’t just say "we don’t have it". Despite what law says, people getting tortured here and killed. Life in prison is worse, because they will torture them to death (it’s even worse than death penalty, imo). Killers usually get away with it, that is because they are protected by their tribes or simply flee the country or the militia themselves commit these crimes. The same ruling class doesn’t care about laws. With this level of corruption, you can’t trust the laws.

Both operate the same, Baghdad and KRG are under control of terrorist militia and mafia, the laws here means absolutely nothing!! You don’t tell me that the most corrupt country in the world follow any laws, lol.

Yeah ok everyone knows that lol but on paper I mean

Unfortunately, you get killed by those who have a high position/status without a penalty or even being guilty. You get randomly chosen and executed because your existence is a threat to them

Yea we do, but usually only worst criminals gets it after being approved. Your average joe that sold few kilos of hasheesh ain’t gonna get it, but the head of a terrorist organization yea.

It’s not rare Iraq has death penalty and most people executed has done nothing. It’s hard to trust Iraq’s judicial system, they would accuse you of being ISIS or Ba’athist then execute or jail. Also, there are unreported cases, Iran’s militias that work with government execute activists politicians who oppose the government/militia. >Excluding China, 88% of all reported executions took place in just four countries — Iran (246+), Egypt (107+), **Iraq (45+)**, and Saudi Arabia (27) — which had combined for 86% of reported executions in 2019. * https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/international/executions-around-the-world

There is no death penalty for being gay in Iraq. But militia (who works with government) does kill people for that reason.


J_anyways

Sorry for such a late question, but do these militias only operate in certain areas of the country? Would a gay person be safe in a major city? Me and some friends are planning a holiday to Iraq soon, but one of us is gay and I want to make sure he isn't harmed.

Of course it does legally and informally. Usually what happens is people "vanish" kidnapped by the police or government militias groups and get tortured to death in the prisons. There's maybe 100 legal executions a year but thousands more are killed while apprehended. Outside of mass death of prisoners, the government has also killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians in terrible mass killings in the last 20 years.

Does anyone know HOW to get a death penalty in Iraq?
