English term or phrase: would lose

The jihadis carried out amputations in the sandy square where the residents of Gao used to watch basketball. The men who ruled Gao for nine months, until French and Malian troops drove them out last weekend, replaced the words "Place de l'Indépendence" in the green, red and yellow of the national flag with simple white on black: Place de la Sharia.

A thief would lose his right hand. Those accused of burglary would lose both right hand and left foot. On 21 December last year, people were assembled, as they had been several times before, and told to watch.

perderà

Explanation:
La traduzione dipende da un fattore di realtà: avere la mano mozzata in questo caso è un'ipotesi o un fatto che effettivamente avviene o è addirittura già avvenuto? Secondo me dal contesto si capisce che è già avvenuto, ("On 21 December last year, people were assembled, as they had been several times before, and told to watch."), quindi non userei un condizionale.
