A 35-year-old man with dual Swedish-Iraqi citizenship faces execution by hanging in Iraq, convicted of drug offenses involving 350 grams of hashish.

Sweden's Ministry for Foreign Affairs has condemned the death sentence and is urgently working to prevent the execution.

This news follows another recent case where at least one Swedish national received the death penalty for a gang-related murder in Baghdad.

Sweden maintains a firm stance against the death penalty and is continuously engaging with Iraqi authorities on the issue.
