The executions were carried out by hanging, with a security source identifying the convicts as members of the Daesh group.

Amnesty International criticized the lack of transparency surrounding the executions.

Under Iraqi law, terrorism and murder offenses are punishable by death, requiring the president's signature for execution decrees.

Eleven people were executed in Iraq and their bodies were delivered to a local medical source on Monday.

The source confirmed the executions were carried out under the anti-terrorism law.

All eleven were from Salahaddin province and seven bodies have been returned to their families.

Iraqi courts have handed down numerous death and life sentences for people convicted of being part of a terrorist group, an offense punishable by death regardless of their level of involvement.

Iraq has faced criticism for executing 13 men on Monday, with Amnesty International condemning the hangings for "overly broad and vague terrorism charges." Eleven of the men were convicted for their affiliation with the Daesh armed group, while the other two were arrested in 2008 and convicted after an unfair trial, according to Amnesty and their lawyer.

The human rights organization denounced the use of confessions obtained under torture in these trials.
