Deserve has nothing to do with it. Only idiots approach this question on fantasizing about vengeance, morality, or "people who I consider not worthy of life getting their due".
It's not like these people's persons are a threat to anybody, especially when all their MoP has been taken and it's not like you gain that by killing them. They are just actors in a system and that system is the real enemy. Even if these people benefit from it greatly, they are still replaceable within the system. Calculated or not so calculated revolutionary terror is an other matter. Then interning and/or killing a few seething old men and their families who all represent the old order might become necessary to drive forward the revolution and/or cement the new order.
