Baghdad (ANTARA News) - The death sentence on Saddam Hussein and two co-defendants in his trial for crimes against humanity will be carried out within 30 days, appeals court judge Arif Shaheen said Tuesday.
"It cannot exceed 30 days. As from tomorrow the sentence could be carried out at any time," the judge said, after confirming that the sentences had been upheld and that the trial process was complete and without appeal.
A panel of Iraqi judges has upheld the death sentence passed against Saddam Hussein, a spokesman for the court said Tuesday, in a decision that could see the ousted dictator hanged within 30 days.
"The appeals court has ratified the sentence of the execution of Saddam," Judge Raed al-Juhi told AFP. (*)
