The Spin

Narrative A

It's concerning that Iraq has yet again carried out death penalties delivered in sham trials that fail to meet international human rights standards. These effectively amount to arbitrary killings.

Narrative B

People on death row bear responsibility for massacres and deserve no mercy. Iraq must be praised for punishing those involved in terror activities in accordance with the rule of law.
