Abdul Sattar Beraqdar, spokesman for the Supreme Judicial Council, has tried hundreds of cases involving IS at the central criminal court in Baghdad, and sentenced many to death.
The judge said some fighters with British passports had already been sentenced and it was ‘possible’ they had been given the death penalty. More cases are yet to be completed, he added.
His comments are the first public confirmation that there are UK fighters in Iraqi jails. The Foreign Office in London said it was not aware of the cases mentioned.
Arguing that British members of IS deserve to die, Mr Beraqdar said: ‘The punishment, as much as it seems strong, will affect the security of your country.
