Saddam as Evil

Saddam as evil
I do not have any mercy whatsoever for Saddam Hussein: he is
definitely an evil and he deserved a fair trial and probably be put to
death. The justice must be done.
let me list some crimes he and his regime had commited.
These are recognised by the UN and Amnesty International
he has burtalised his people for decades:
★ he had violently suppressed Kurdish people’s course for national
independence; he had literally killed tens or even hundreds of
thousands of Kurds, including the event that he commended “Chemical Ali”
to use chemical weapons against innocent Kurdish civilians. In March
1988, in a single cyanide attack, 5000 Kurds were killed, many of
which were children and women. The video of the corpses had been shown
to the world and was recorded in the UN. The event had shocked the whole world
at the time. In 1983 Saddam’s regime had arrested and executed 8,000
Kurdish males aged 13 and upwards. The document was captured by Kurds
during the Gulf War and was subsequently handed to the UN
These can already justify a trial against Saddam Hussein on
anti-humanity and ethnic-cleansing crimes
★ against Shia community (which make up over 60% of Iraq’s population)
Shias had been brutally oppressed and suppressed by the Saddam
Hussein led Sunni minority; Saddam had killed alsmot all prominent
figures of Shia fearing that they will constitute a threat to his regime.
For decades Shia community’s religious practice had been severely
restricted. Shia hated Saddam so much that they would like to topple him
so desepreately. After the Frist Gulf War President George Bush urged
the Shia to revolt. However, after the revolt had actually taken place
the Americans had retreated, leaving the Shias betrayed. Thousands, or
tens of thousands of them had been killed by the regime.
★ Torture is very much systematic a practice in Iraq by virtue of which
the regime was sustained and the people were brutalised.
Saddam had set up secret police to persecute all the people against him;
one of his sons was directly in charge of the course. Many other senior
figures in the regime were also personally involved.
★ Saddam had through the Revolution Command Council passed a host of
decrees establishing severe penalties, including amputation, branding,
cutting off of ears and many other forms of mutilation for criminal
offences. On the other hand, in Dec 1992, a RCC decree RCC guaranteed
immunity for Baath party members who had cause damage to property,
bodily harm and even death when pursuing enemies of the regime. In 2000,
RCC had approved amputation of the tongue as a new penalty for any
slander and/or abusive remarks against the Saddam Hussein and his
family.
Other torture methods including
Eye gouging; piercing of hands with electric drill; suspended from
ceiling by their wrists; electric shock; sexual abuses; mock executions;
acid baths and so forth
These are all completely against the Universal Human Rights Convention
★ Over years, Amnesty International had received several thousands of
reports of brutal torture and had since interviewed a great number of
those tortured victims (fled abroad)
★ anti-human rights and anti-humanity crimes/deeds against women: In
1990 a decree allowed male relatives to kill female relatives in the
name of honour without punishment. This denied a woman’s right to life.
Women have also been tortured, ill-treated and even collectively
executed, according to Amnesty International. The United Nations
Security Council and the UN Commission on Human Rights had repeatedly
condemned these.
★ against children: BBC correspondent John Sweeney said he had
met six witnesses with direct experience of child torture, including the
crushing of a two-yr-old girl’s feet
★ In August 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, blatantly in breach of the
international law, as at the time Saddam had wrongly predicted that
America would not intervene. This led the first Gulf War. During the
period of occupation, Iraqi forces had committed robbery, rape
against Kuwaits; they had also carried out collective executions. Most
of the war crimes had been documaented by the Amnesty International.
Saddam Hussein would be trialed on War Crime later for his dregime’s deeds
★ Saddam Hussein waged war against Iran in early 80s; he had used
chemical weapons in the warfare and executed any ofhis soldiers that
feared or refused to fight. The war cost approximately one million lives
for both countries, and the Iraqi economy had since been devastated.
★ Between three and four million Iraqis, about 15% of the population
had fled their homeland rather than live under Saddam Hussein’s
regime
All these are recognised and documented by United Nation and/or
Amnesty International.
So do you have sympathy towards Saddam Hussein the evil?
Did Saddam Hussein ever respected sovereignty? Ever respected human
rights and humanity? No. should he be bought to justice and
tried by his own people? Yes.
