"PRESS RELEASE'
A
NEW VIOLATION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE
In a new
violation to the principles of justice and to the fair trial
standards, news agencies, newspapers and media outlets have
recently reported many statements, which were made by
officials in the Iraqi government and the Iraqi High
Criminal Court. These statements lead up to the same
conclusion, that the Cassation Panel of the Court will
confirm the verdicts of the death sentences against
President Saddam Hussein and his comrades, and that the
verdict against Mr.Taha Yassin Ramadan will be converted to
a death sentence, so that he may be executed with the
others.
These statements
only mean that the immature intervention by the Iraqi
authorities in the work of justice continues in an attempt
to affect the independence of the Iraqi judiciary.
Otherwise, how could it be possible for an official to
release such statements even before the Cassation Panel
looks into the cassation submissions, or the file of the
case, which it is still studying? More dangerous, is the
promise made by the Chief Prosecutor to convert the life
imprisonment sentence into a death sentence against the vice
president.
This heated
desire to sustain the ceaseless blood shed in Iraq should
constitute a motive to all concerned Arab governments and
international institutions to immediately intervene in order
to put an end to this misuse of justice in Iraq and also to
put an end to the continued violation of the basic standards
of a fair trial. Otherwise, the human kind community with
its various institutions should bear this historic
responsibility of observing and following up these
violations without acting or intervention to stop him.
