Iraq: ninth day of hunger strike for Saddam Hussein
BAGHDAD - former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein spent Sunday his ninth day of sharpened without feeding. He carries out a hunger strike in order to claim a protection increased for his lawyers.
"In spite of its refusal to eat, it is always considered in good health", specified a spokesman of the American army.
With three of his co-defendants, the former Iraqi leader, whose lawsuit for crimes against humanity takes again the next week, refuses to feed since July 7. He drinks sweetened coffee and others liquidate, specified the army.
The fasters claim a revision of the procedures of their lawsuit and reinforcements of safety for their lawyers after the murder of the one of them last month, the third to be killed since the beginning of the lawsuit in October 2005.
Too bad they might have to tie some sand bags to his feet when they hang him.
