Saddam, aides on hunger strike
OUSTED Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and 11 top leaders of his regime awaiting trial for crimes against humanity have gone on hunger strike in their US detention centre, one of their lawyers said today. "We have reliable information that Saddam Hussein and 11 other prisoners began a hunger strike on Friday to protest ill treatment," the Iraqi lawyer of former deputy prime minister Tareq Aziz said. Saddam was captured a year ago near his home town of Tikrit, north of the Iraqi capital.Posted by: tipper 2004-12-12 |
