death sentence

"It’s atrocious. It's a death sentence."

One of the armed men is heard saying: "The death sentence has been decided for all collaborators".

“Escape is impossible for many. … People left behind have been handed a death sentence,” said Christoph Lockyear, secretary-general of Doctors Without Borders, known as MSF, in a statement on Monday.

That state’s law requires the trial court that handed down a death sentence to conduct a “death warrant hearing” before an execution can be authorized.

Israel's leaders, meanwhile, are under intense pressure at home from hostage families, who say plans to take the city are a death sentence for living relatives being held there.
