Judges Chosen For Saddam's Trial

Five judges have been chosen for the trial of Saddam Hussein, due to start on the 19th of October.

Saddam's Iraqi lawyer, Khalil Dulaimi, said that Saddam's rights had been seriously violated throughout the legal process.

Quote:

"We have not been duly informed about any certain date for a trial. The defence has not been enabled to review any files of the charges or even any paper of investigation, despite the fact that we have made many and repeated requests to this effect."

However, another source said last month that Dulaimi had been given access to all prosecution documents and to his client whenever he requested.

Saddam faces the death penalty if convicted.
