World condemns lynching of Iraqi president
Published Jan 4, 2007 12:10 AM
With demonstrations and other forms of protest throughout the Middle East and South Asia, many expressed their anger and dismay over the lynch justice Washington meted out to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Below are small excerpts from statements both condemning the kangaroo-court injustices and the brutal assassination, from varied sources.



India
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark: The great weight of international legal opinion has found the Iraqi Special Tribunal subject to political pressures, lacking independence and not impartial. “The trial” failed to provide due process of law and was unfair. ... Executions, if they occur in the midst of the present violence, are expected to cause a long term increase in the level of violence causing more U.S. and Iraqi casualties.

The BRussells Tribunal: The Iraqi Higher Criminal Court that passed a death sentence on President Saddam Hussein is grounded on illegality. Occupying powers under international law are expressly prohibited from changing the judicial structures of occupied states. Created by Paul Bremer, the Iraqi Higher Criminal Court was never anything but a U.S.-orchestrated puppet court.



Bangladesh
Malcolm Smart, director of the Middle East and North Africa for Amnesty International: The independence and impartiality of the court was impugned. There was political interference. Three defense lawyers were murdered. Saddam himself had no access to legal advice for a year.

Human Rights Watch: The imposition of the death penalty—an inherently cruel and inhumane punishment—in the wake of an unfair trial is indefensible.



Jordan
International Association of Peoples Lawyers Board of Directors: Whereas, the trial was meant to mislead the world and smokescreen reality because the main forces that put Mr. Hussein on trial, which are the U.S. and other states, were themselves his erstwhile supporters, encouragers and financiers and as a previous ally of Mr. Hussein during the period of the alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity of which he was judged, culpable high officials of the U.S. and other governments like the UK must be included in any trial about these serious charges.

Campaign for the End of the Occupation and for Sovereignty of Iraq (CEOSI—Spanish state): The execution will not hold back the resistance of the Iraqi people to the foreign occupation, or against the collaborationist forces and all those who are trying to bring about a sectarian division of the country.



Turkey
StopUSA (a Belgian anti-war movement): In November 1532, the Inca king Atahualpa stood trial before the Spanish conquistadores. He was sentenced to death and hanged in August 1533. Among the accusations against him: he would have been ‘cruel to his enemies,’ whatever that may have meant. In any case the execution of Atahualpa has gone down in history not so much because of the man’s supposed or real cruelty, but because of the grotesque nature of this parody of justice. It won’t be different with Saddam’s execution.”

The National Liberation Council of Bangladesh organized a protest meeting in the capital city Dhaka against the killing of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. At the meeting, Fiezul Hakim, secretary of the NLC, said, “By killing President Saddam Hussein, U.S. imperialism wanted to destroy Iraq. Now Saddam is the symbol of anti imperialism.” After the protest meeting a protest procession was held. Many other organizations held protest rallies.

The International Action Center (USA): This punishment has nothing to do with the alleged crimes of the Iraqi leader, nor is it part of an historical judgment of his role. It is the act of a conquering power against a nation that is occupied against the will not only of its 2003 legal government but also against the will of the vast majority of its people.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (ML) outright condemns the hanging of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein—who defiantly stood against U.S. imperialist design in the Middle East and jealously stood for independence and sovereignty of Iraq. Ignoring the world democratic opinion, Bush—the worst ever war criminal and number one international terrorist—has perpetrated this heinous crime the way this enemy of democracy did against Milosevic—the ex-president of Yugoslavia.

José Reinaldo Carvalho, secretary of International Relations of the Communist Party of Brazil: Saddam Hussein was executed as the result of an illegal sentence pronounced by an illegal court manipulated by the invading forces that have occupied Iraq since March of 2003. ... The conflicts already underway there [Middle East] will not have a proper ending, an ending consonant with the peoples’ yearning for peace, sovereignty and justice, as long as the interventionist and warmongering politics of U.S. imperialism holds sway in the region.

Bert De Belder, www.solidair.org (Belgium): Officially, the former Iraqi president was convicted for the execution in 1982 of 148 villagers in Dujail. In fact, Saddam was eliminated by the United States because he didn’t want to surrender his country’s oil and sovereignty. His execution is one more entry in a long list of U.S. war crimes.

Anti-Imperialist Camp: They turned Saddam into a martyr of the Iraqi liberation struggle. He will serve as an example for all anti-imperialist fighters for his tenacity and steadfastness.

Answer 2

Right or wrong, most of them are doing so because they perceive Saddam Hussein (and rightfully so) as being anti-peace and anti-Democracy.

I think I know what you are getting at, though. Are you trying to imply that the execution of a man, any man, is anti-Democratic? Or perhaps that the execution of Saddam is just going to cause MORE violence in Iraq?

I think this is one of those situations where there is some truth to both sides of the argument. It may well be true that the death of Saddam Hussein is going to cause more violence and less peace in Iraq, and possibly even less Democracy, depending on who wins out there. That said, Saddam Hussein was a symbol of tryanny, war, and torture. He murdered Kurds and rebellious Shiites and was responsible for the deaths of many Iranians and Kuwaitis in his wars. He also allowed his sons to torture and terrorize his own people, including athletes that performed poorly in international competition. It is difficult for a weary and frustrated Democracy to not see it as a good thing that he is dead, regardless of the means through which his death was carried out.

Answer 3

I'm not a lover of democracy as u say, but i do somewhat support democracy but not the American democracy. I'm against Saddam's execution, because it was a barbaric act. Capital Punishment has no place in the 21st century. And it's not doing any good for Iraq, his execution made it worse. and the American government is already regretting his hanging.

Answer 4

I support peace and democracy. I also support the TOO long drawn out trial Iraq gave Saddam which convicted him. So I also support the execution as well. And I support the brave person who used the cell phone camera to capture the entire video and audio of Saddams execution to dispurse any conspiracy theories.

What say you now?

Answer 5

1. Oxford English Dictionary: to lynch (third-person singular simple present lynches, present participle lynching, simple past lynched, past participle lynched)

To execute without a proper legal trial.

Do you remember the trial? It was in all the papers! So, your question is either wrong, or you have a bias.

2. As for SH's execution, sure, it was a horrible thing to see and to know that so many people obtained some kind of perverted, scopophilic pleasure from it. But, I suggest you post your question to some Kurds, people who did not have 'democracy' or 'peace' under Saddam, and see what their reaction to it may be. It will not be as polite as mine, I would say.

Answer 6

I don't know who's condemning the lynching, but I find that killing anyone is pretty disturbing. I believe GOD will give us our just punsihment and I will always believe that. However, this was a man who believed his peers would give him what he deserved and so they did. I never support killing anyone because we have no idea what the real facts are and it's not our place to judge. Thank you and GOD bless.

Answer 7

"Lynching"? are you kidding? Saddam slaughtered hundreds of thousands of his own people for sport. He was tried by Iraqis, in an Iraqi court and sentenced to die by Iraqi authorities. Iraqi citizens carried out the sentence.

How do you figure that he was "lynched"? He was tried and found guilty in a lawful legal proceeding conducted by a sovereign government.

Answer 8

......Could it be the "anti-Saddam execution crowd" is simply the media ? The media drives topics to keep a positive cashflow. Is this yet another media driven topic ???$$$

Answer 9

No no no you have got that all wrong...It's the Bleeding Heart Far Left Wing Hyper Liberal ACLU Adoring Democrats the ones that just love Political Correctness and are the self appointed guardians of Mad Dog Muslim Homicide Bombers Sensitivities ... and the chief Liberal of them all is Speaker of the House now !!! Ugh!

Answer 10

The fact it comes together proves that the lovers of peace and democracy are right.

Answer 11

I ASKED THAT QUESTION BEFORE SADDAM WAS HANGED,THEY ARE WICKED AND ARE KNOW TRYING TO HIDE THEIR WICKEDNESS.WHY DIDN'T THEY STAND UP WITH ME TO SAVE SADDAM,THEY DIDN'T AND HAVE CONDEMNED THEM SELF'S.
