Iraq sentences 27 men death roles 2014 speicher massacre

You're referring to the Speicher massacre, a tragic event that occurred in 2014 during the Iraqi Civil War.

On June 10, 2014, Iraqi security forces, led by the Shia-dominated government, executed 27 Sunni men in the Speicher military base in Tikrit, Iraq. The victims were mostly former Iraqi soldiers who were taken prisoner by the Islamic State (ISIS) in June 2014, during the group's initial advances in Iraq.

The executions were carried out by Iraqi security forces, allegedly in retaliation for the ISIS takeover of the base. The victims were reportedly shot in the head and buried in mass graves.

In 2019, an Iraqi court sentenced 27 men to death for their involvement in the Speicher massacre. The men were convicted of "terrorism" and "murder" for their roles in the executions.

The Speicher massacre was widely condemned by human rights organizations and governments around the world, who called for accountability and justice for the victims and their families. The event highlighted the deep-seated sectarian tensions and political divisions in Iraq, which have contributed to the country's ongoing instability and violence.

It's worth noting that the Iraqi government has faced criticism for its handling of the investigation and prosecution of the Speicher massacre, with some arguing that the trials were flawed and that the sentences were unfair.
