On December 6th, 2006, Saddam Hussein appeared in court for the last time.[12] In the first place he did not want to appear, the trial was post-poned for one hour, finally Saddam appeared, he did not say much. He only questioned one witness, stating the prosecution made up those witnesses and coerced the witnesses to lie for the new U.S. backed government.
The first trial of Saddam Hussein began before the Iraqi Special Tribunal on October 19, 2005. In this case Hussein and seven other defendants were tried for allegations of crimes against humanity with regard to events that took place after a failed assassination attempt in Dujail in 1982 by members of the Islamic Dawa Party (see also human rights abuses in Iraq). On November 5, 2006, Saddam was sentenced to death by hanging. On December 26, Saddam's appeal was rejected and the death sentence upheld. No further appeals were taken and Saddam was ordered executed within 30 days of that date.

First hearing
The 67-year-old deposed Saddam appeared confident and defiant throughout the 46-minute hearing. Alternating between listening to and gesturing at the judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin, he questioned the legitimacy of the tribunal set up to try him. He called the court a "play aimed at Bush's chances of winning the U.S. presidential elections."[5] He emphatically rejected charges against him. "This is all theatre. The real criminal is Bush," he stated.[6] When asked by the judge to identify himself in his first appearance before an Iraqi judge, he answered, "You are an Iraqi, you know who I am."[7] "I am still the president of the republic and the occupation cannot take that away," declared Saddam Hussein.[citation needed] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (3008x1960, 1052 KB) Other versions A cropped version: Image:SaddamHussein 2004July01 cropped. ...

Also during the arraignment, Saddam defended Iraq's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait and referred to Kuwaitis as "dogs," who were trying to turn the women of Iraq into "twopenny whores" which led to an admonishment from the judge for using coarse language in court (dogs are widely considered to be unclean animals in the Islamic world). Later on July 1, Kuwait's information minister Abul-Hassan said crude language was "expected" of Saddam. "This is how he was raised," said the minister.[8] Unlike the conservative monarch rulers in the area, which rule every other Arab nation in the Persian Gulf region, Saddam was born into a hard-scrabble, landless peasant family and was allegedly beaten as a child.[citation needed] Combatants United States Saudi Arabia & US-led Coalition Republic of Iraq Commanders Norman Schwarzkopf Saddam Hussein Strength 883,863 360,000 Casualties 240 killed in action, 776 wounded in action, 30 taken prisoner Est. ...

Of important note is that no other major newspaper or wire service has since extensively covered this story.[10] The British Daily Telegraph newspaper, quoting an unnamed senior UK government source, had reported two weeks before that Iraqi insurgents were being offered a "deal" whereby the former President of Iraq would receive a more lenient sentence if they gave up their attacks.[11] Abu Hafs al Masri ...

As in his pre-trial appearance, Saddam at the opening of his trial on October 19 appeared defiant and rejected the tribunal's legitimacy and independence from the control of foreign occupation. "I do not respond to this so-called court, with all due respect to its people, and I retain my constitutional right as the president of Iraq," Hussein declared. He added, "Neither do I recognize the body that has designated and authorized you, nor the aggression because all that has been built on false basis is false."[16] Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti Barzan Ibrahim El-Hasan al-Tikriti (17 February 1951 - January 15, 2007 ) (sometimes: Barazan Ibrahim al-Tikriti and Barasan Ibrahem Alhassen) (Arabic: برزان إبراهيم التكريتي) was one of three half-brothers of Saddam Hussein, and the former leader of the Iraqi secret service, Mukhabarat. ...

When the judge asked for his name, Saddam said "I am the president of the Iraq", refused to state his name, but returned the question, asking Kurdish judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin, "Who are you? I want to know who you are." When Amin addressed Saddam as "the former president," Saddam objected emphatically, saying he was still the President of the Republic of Iraq and had not been deposed.
While Saddam's seven co-defendants appeared in traditional Arabic male dress, Saddam wore a dark suit and a white shirt. Al-Bandar, sitting next to Saddam in the front row in a pen of white metal bars, complained that the defendants had been stripped of their head-coverings, upon which they were given back to them.
After the charges were read to them, all eight defendants pleaded not guilty. The first session of Saddam's trial lasted three hours. The court adjourned the case until 28 November 2005, as some of the witnesses were too frightened to attend, and also to allow the defense more time to study evidence.[17] During an interview with the Arab news agency al-Arabiya following the opening of the trial, Hussein's eldest daughter Raghad branded the court a "farce" and claimed that her father behaved like a "lion" during the proceedings. "My father is brave, a lion, I am proud of him," she said. "He is a man who dedicated his life to serve his country, he was brave in his youth, so how can he be afraid now?" she added. is the 332nd day of the year (333rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On November 28, 2005, Chief Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin adjourned the trial until December 5 to allow time to find replacements for two defense lawyers who were slain and another who fled Iraq after he was wounded. On December 5, Saddam's legal defense team stormed out of the court after questioning its legitimacy and asking about return of defence papers seized by U.S. Army troops and security issues regarding the protection of the defense. Saddam, along with his co-defendants, railed against Chief Judge Amin and the tribunal. The next day, after listening to hours of testimony against him, he lashed out at the judge.

Establishing the truth and ensuring accountability for the crimes committed during the past regime will assist in furthering national reconciliation and dialogue in Iraq in the future. The nature of the crimes as well as the necessity of national reconciliation mean that all the trials have to be conducted respecting all the requirements for a fair process, the statement added.

She also called for the rights of defendants to a fair appeal to be "fully respected".
"A credible appeals process is an essential part of fair-trial guarantees," she said in a statement.
"This is particularly important in this instance, in which the death penalty has been imposed. Those convicted today should have every opportunity to exhaust their appellate remedies in a fair way, and whatever the outcome of an appeal, I hope the government will observe a moratorium on executions. Guaranteeing the right of a fair trial of persons accused of major human rights violations is key to consolidating and strengthening the very important process of ensuring justice and countering impunity that Iraq has embarked upon."
Execution -
Hussein was executed by hanging after being convicted of crimes against humanity following his trial and conviction for the illegal killings of 148 Shi'as in the town of Dujail in 1982. He was hanged on the first day of most important Islam holiday Eid ul-Adha, December 30, 2006 at approximately 06:05 AM local time (03:05 UTC). The execution was carried out at “Camp Justice,” an Iraqi army base in Kazimain, a neighbourhood of northeast Baghdad. There were some foreign groups who wanted Saddam dead after Eid, on January 1 between 3 and 6 AM but prime minister Maliki wanted Saddam gone before New Year. Saddam Hussein, during his trial in July 2004 Former President of Iraq Saddam Hussein (April 28, 1937–December 30, 2006) was executed by hanging after being convicted of crimes against humanity by the Iraqi Special Tribunal following his trial for the murder of 148 Iraqi Shiites in the town...

Criticism - Critics, including Saddam's sole remaining legal counsel Khalil al-Dulaimi, have alleged that American officials have a heavy influence on the court. [42] In a statement, Khalil said, "this court is a creature of the US military occupation, and the Iraqi court is just a tool and rubber stamp of the invaders." [43]
- Khalil al-Dulaimi and various international commentators have alleged that the date on which the verdict was read live to the world, November 5, 2006, was deliberately selected and expedited by the Bush Administration in order to influence the U.S. midterm elections which occurred two days later. This has been called a November Surprise. [43][44] The verdict was expected to be on October 16, 2006, but was postponed to consider recalling some of the witnesses. [45] Even as the verdict was released verbally on November 5, the written, final verdict was not to be released until days later. [46]
- The television link of the trial is provided by a U.S. company which frequently edits out the sound of what Saddam and the others say, and sometimes edits the video as well.[47]
- Some Witnesses were told by court staff what to say. [48]
- Judges were replaced numerous times, reportedly because of "leniancy" towards the defence. [49]
- All Defence lawyers who questioned the court's legitimacy were ejected. [50]
- A Defence lawyer who showed images of US torture was ejected. [51]
- Witnesses claimed to be forced or tortured to testify. [52]
- Evidence is allegedly forged in numerous circumstances. [53]
- Numerous Witnesses' statements claim the accused's innocence. [54]
- An unidentified witness claims chief prosecutor Jaafar al-Moussawi offered him $500 to give false evidence and said his family was threatened. [55]
- Three Witnesses discredit the prosecution by telling the court people allegedly killed by Saddam in Dujail are actually alive. [56]
- A Defence lawyer is abducted and killed. [57]

General arrangements The Washington Post reported that "Americans have drafted most of the statutes under which Hussein and his associates are being tried." Further, "A U.S. official in Baghdad confirmed last weekend that only the United States and Britain had contributed experts to advise the court on how to prosecute governments for war crimes and other such matters." [58]
The human rights organization Amnesty International criticized the death sentence and said the trial was "deeply flawed and unfair." The process was marred by "serious flaws that call into question the capacity of the tribunal," Malcolm Stuart, director of Amnesty's Middle East and North Africa program, said. "in particular, political interference undermined the independence and impartiality of the court." [59] The specific concerns raised by Amnesty International include the status of the trial as a "Special Trial" (unconstitutional according to the Iraqi Constitution), political interference in trial proceedings by the removal of a judge mid-trial, exclusion of members of the defense team at points in the trial, assassination of multiple members of the defence team, and the closure of the trial before the defence team had completed presenting its legal case. Amnesty International (commonly known as Amnesty or AI) is a pressure group that promotes human rights. ...

Ongoing war/instability in Iraq and "Prisoner of War" status As the UK and USA have failed to stabilise Iraq as yet (arguably war is still ongoing, and has not yet been won in fact), it could also be argued that the trial of Saddam Hussein and his co-defendants was premature and wholly inappropriate: that Saddam's status is that of a prisoner of war with the right to the benefit of the Geneva Conventions unless and until the country is actually stabilised by the USA and UK, and that he ought not to have been put on trial at all as yet.
