Samar Sa'ad 'Abdullah was sentenced to death by the Criminal Court of al-Karkh, Baghdad, on 15 August 2005 for the murder of her uncle, his wife and one of their children in the al-Khudra' district of Baghdad. She reportedly denied involvement and blamed the killings on her fiancé, who, she said, had carried them out in order to rob her uncle. Her fiancé was said to have been accused of the same crime but is apparently still being sought for arrest by the authorities. Samar Sa'ad 'Abdullah's death sentence was upheld on 26 February 2007 by the Court of Cassation. She is detained at C4 (Sajn al-Nissa’) Women's Prison in Baghdad and is facing execution unless she is pardoned or her sentence is commuted by the President.
