Three Swedish men have been sentenced to death in Iraq for the murder of gang leader Mustafa "Benzema" Aljiburi.

The convictions, which are under scrutiny due to inconsistent evidence and allegations of torture, have led their families to urge the Swedish government for more assistance.

Additionally, another Swedish citizen has also been sentenced to death for drug offenses under dubious circumstances of torture.

The Iraqi judicial system has faced criticism for its use of torture to extract confessions.

Swedish authorities condemn the death penalty and are intervening to prevent these executions.
