| Saddam Deputy's Death Sentence Confirmed | |
| 2007-03-15 | |
Baghdad, 15 March (AKI) - Iraq's high court on Thursday upheld a death sentence against former Iraqi deputy president Taha Yasin Ramadan, the Qatar-based Al Jazeera channel reported. The court dismissed an appeal by Ramadan's legal team to have the sentence overturned. A lawyer representing the former deputy president, Bushra al-Khalil, was quoted as saying by the Arab daily al-Hayat that he believed his client would be executed "soon". "The Americans have called his (Ramadan's) family asking them to name a person who will be delegated to collect the body for burial following the execution," al-Khalil added.

| #7 "An appeals court sentenced Ramadan to death by hanging on 12 February overturning a previous life sentence" " We'll give you an appeal special--here, try our new necktie!" One wonders what Ramadan would get if he appeal again... |

| #6 Actually, RD, she IS a Shi'ite - making her chummy relationship with the Hussein boys back in the day, and her antics on behalf of the chief monster and his minions in the Dujayl case, all the more appalling. I'm a wee bit surprised Ramadan's getting the short drop for this case - though he was bound to do so for a future case. He wasn't central to the Dujayl events. |
