Saddam to be executed within 30 days.

---

The ancient president and dictator of Iraq “Saddam Hussein” is going to pay for his crimes, the Iraqi appeals court upheld Saddam’s death and said he should be hang within the next thirty days. At a news conference the leader of the Iraqi high tribunal Abdul-Razak al-Shahin told the audience the government has the right to select the date to implement Saddam’s death penalty starting from tomorrow up to 30days. Also it is a duty to apply the sanction after thirty days.

 

Saddam is charged of crimes against humanity, since the killing of 148 Shiite in Dujail town after he escaped from an assassination there in 1982, he also slaughtered a great number of the Kurdish population and caused a huge genocide, the dictator was sentenced to death on November5th, 2006. The course also rejected appeals of Saddam’s half brother and former judge who were also prosecuted for crimes against humanity and are about to receive death penalty.

 

Human defenders as amnesty international are strongly apposed and disappointed concerning that extreme decision saying that it was just a matter of principal and especially because that sanction comes after a flawed trial. Let’s wait for the street opinion and Saddam’s loyalists; for sure Iraqi streets won’t be secure within the next days!
