While Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) maintains a firm stance on the effectiveness of the death penalty in managing drug trafficking in Singapore, the article presents evidence suggesting that the methodologies and interpretations of these studies might not be as substantial as portrayed.

Iraq: ISIS executes 2 female parliamentary candidates following Sharia death sentence

November 26, 2014: “ISIS gunmen executed two former female candidates in Mosul after the Sharia Court issued death sentence on them,” Saad Mamuzin, the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, told Rudaw.

The women, who ran in Iraq's parliamentary elections race last April, were identified as Ibtisam Ali Jarjis and Miran Ghazi.

Rudaw notes that "according to the KDP official, the two candidates had repented in one of the [Islamic State] mosques in Mosul to spare their lives three months ago, but the Islamic judge overruled their repentance and the two women were arrested about three weeks ago."

In September, the jihadist group executed three women in Mosul, including two doctors and another parliamentary candidate.

Large swaths of Syria and Iraq have fallen into the hands of Islamic State (IS, ISIS, or ISIL) militants.

ISIS jihadists solidified their control of Mosul after they stormed the city in June. The jihadist group has established Sharia law courts there.
