Begun again lawsuit of Saddam, the prosecutor claims the resignation of the judge
BAGHDAD - the lawsuit of deposed president Saddam Hussein, judged for genocide against the Kurds, took again Wednesday in front of the high Iraqi penal court in Baghdad, where the Attorney General asked for the resignation of the marked judge of laxism with regard to the Iraqi ex-dictator.
Saddam Hussein and its six co-defendants were present in the room of the court, including Ali Hassan Al-Majid, called Ali the chemical one for his role in the chemical bombardments of civil zones.
During five last audiences of the open lawsuit on August 21, thirteen witnesses ravelled with the bar to tell the horrors of the repression of Ancien Régime against the Kurds.
From the beginning of the sixth audience, the Attorney General Mounqith Al-Faroun requested the resignation of the president of the court, judge Abdallah Al-Ameri, whom it showed of laxism with regard to the ex-dictator.
"the defendants went too much far, with unacceptable expressions and words. They even uttered threats against the prosecutor and the witnesses ", said the prosecutor.
The judge rejected the request of the Attorney General.
Saddam Hussein is judged, like six of her lieutenants, to have ordered and implemented the repression campaigns "Anfal" at Kurdistan, which would have made 180.000 died in 1987 and 1988.
The defendants refused to plead guilty or not guilty.
When's the hanging?
I guess the prosecutor is worried there won't be a hanging with this judge.
Saddam won't be able to hide in a whole to escape his fate this time. He is going down, six feet.
"Saddam Hussein is judged, like six of her lieutenants,..."
Fitting.
Was this a babelfish translation?
Why isn't Saddam dead yet?
I believe it only took a year to hang the Nazi high command at Nuremberg...
I know the wheels of justice spin slowly. But this wheel seems to have gone flat.
