Tribunal over the former President of Iraq Saddam Hussein, as a result of which policies were sentenced to death, passed with violations. This was told by the ex-Ambassador of the United States in Iraq Robert Ford in an interview with RIA Novosti.
“In the process itself, there were no problem. Some of the defenders were killed, which was terrible. During the trial itself, the charge sometimes represented evidence, not allowing protection to familiarize themselves with them,” the diplomat said. At the same time, he stressed that many evidence confirmed the involvement of Hussein to massive murders.
Saddam Hussein dictator was executed on December 30, 2006. He was arrested as a result of the invasion of American troops in Iraq, which was held under the pretext of finding weapons of mass lesion, the presence of which in the country was not confirmed. However, the prosecution was able to prove the guilt of Hussein in the murders of the Iraqi population.
In October 2021, at the age of 84, due to the complications caused by Coronavirus, the former US Secretary of State Colin Powell died. In 2003, Powell performed in the UN Security Council Hall with a test tube in his hands, speaking of the need to enter troops to Iraq to prevent the use of weapons of mass lesion to Saddam Hussein.
