    No, this was an illegal, unofficial policy enacted by the special forces themselves and covered up by their superiors. The reason that we’re hearing about it now is because of a BBC investigative report which has led to an official inquiry.

      Well murder is, by definition, an unlawful killing. So yes.

      Agents of the government were engaged in unlawful killing of people for the crime of being male (and non-white, as other commenter pointed out), involving a significant conspiracy.

      We’ll see what sort of punishment they receive for their crimes, if convicted.
