Eliaza al-Saleh, Ahmed al-‘Abbas and Mazen Bassouni were executed, Amnesty International reported. They are believed to have been hanged, the method of execution normally used for those sentenced to death for criminal offences. All three had been convicted of murdering Eliaza al-Saleh’s husband. Evidence that she had suffered years of physical and sexual abuse by her husband was apparently ignored at her trial and appeal. Her family learned of her execution three days after it was carried out.
