Saddam's son beats 12-year-olds who say no to sex: defectors

Saddam Hussein's eldest son mercilessly beats girls as young as 12 on the soles of their feet if they refuse to sleep with him, Iraqi defectors said today.

Uday Hussein forces head teachers of schools in Baghdad's poorest districts to send pupils to his palace where he arranges dates with those he likes.

If the chosen girls annoy him in anyway they are dangled over a wooden beam held by his bodyguards and repeatedly hit with a wooden club, according to two former members of his inner circle who recently fled Iraq.

"He does it to a girl if she says she doesn't want to go out with him, or if she finds another boyfriend, or is late or reluctant," one defector told Vanity Fair magazine.

The 38-year-old warns victims not to flinch while the beating is administered or they will have their legs broken. He often hits them up to 50 times, the report claimed.

Afterwards, when they can barely walk, he orders them to dance.

Uday, head of Iraq's Olympic Committee, was known to have beaten football players and athletes when they lost.

The defectors said he also inflicted beatings, imprisonment and torture on close friends and business associates - simply for being late to a meeting or irritating him.

His punishments have become more brutal since an assassination attempt in 1996 which left him with walking difficulties and problems having sex.

Some victims have been branded on the buttocks with hot irons.

"Uday tells them, 'this mark is never going to go from your body, so you'll remember me until the day you die'," one defector said.

One former friend died after being held down and made to drink huge quantities of pure alcohol.

Business rivals have been shot in the arm or a leg and then allowed to bleed slowly to death.

Uday also likes to deflower virginity, knowing that no one will touch them after he has slept with them, the defectors said.

"He likes joking about with his friends: 'look at her, after this she'll be a prostitute'."

The defectors have been debriefed by MI6 and Pentagon officials and are regarded as reliable sources on the workings of Saddam's regime, the magazine said.

Intelligence officials believe Uday may have been in the bunker hit by a cruise missile in the "decapitation strike" on Baghdad in the first hours of the war.

His younger brother, Qusay, is Saddam's heir after Uday fell out of favour when he murdered a close friend of his father in 1988.

And more and more stories will surface...each more sickening than the last.

[Mr.Clark]

Of course, the DU'ers will never accept these "lies". Must be CIA propaganda, yeah, that's it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Stories and pictures and video that will rival the Holocaust will soon surface.

not anymore. he's in hell at the moment.

likely to remain there, too.

Uday is sleeping with the ishes-fay.

[The South Texan]

Meanwhile, American liberals from the Democratic party and Hoolywood continue to defend this slug.

[stanz]

This is what the UN, our peaceniks, France, Germany,Russia and the Vatican would like to see left unchallenged.

[ewing]

Just damn. I have heard that buggering poor young boys is not a 'sin' in the Muslim faith, while sleeping with a woman is. (hence the suicide bombing culture)

[annyokie]

Nice family values,huh? /sarcasm off

[patriciaruth]

Think N.O.W. will organize a committee to help these victims of sexual abuse?

[anniegetyourgun]

The leftist protesters are what they defend, through the aid and comfort they lend to such scum as this.

[Diogenesis]

In the Monsour district of Baghdad, Iraqi schoolgirls are days away from
liberation and never having to be raped by Saddam and his family again.

[ewing]

before marriage, of course..and after marriage the women dont really have sex with them all that often

[Reagan is King]

I'd like to see them taken alive and handed over to the Kurds for the punishment they deserve.

[netmilsmom]

LOLOL!
And he is finding out that when Allah was talking about 72 virgins, he meant goats.

[homeschool mama]

my God...

[EllaMinnow]

I hope he's being buggered by 72 demons with flaming...uh...pitchforks.
And may he rot for eternity.

[xJones]

And more and more stories will surface...each more sickening than the last.

But....but....but Chirac was against the war. The French have all those business contracts with Iraq and there's nothing going on wrong in Iraq. Blix spent months cruising around Iraq and had a good time doing almost nothing. Don't worry, the U.N. will take care of things - or at least they'll try to make noises.

Can you imagine if Saddam had dropped dead while eating a ham sandwich? (hehe), Uday would have had Qusay killed (who some say is nearly as bad) and then Uday would have been in charge in Iraq ... hard to imagine he could have been worse than what he was but imagine if he would have been 100% in control ...

Either way, let's hope Saddam and Sons, if not already gone, will soon be ancient history ... the damage they have done can never be repaired unfortunately, for many of their victims ...
