Will Saddam be tried for other crimes? There was a long list of crimes he would be tried for which was discussed several years ago. With appeals and the possibility that Saddam faces other charges (and trials), he may have to live to be a very old man before the legal proceedings have concluded.


>Quotes from Amnesty International:
>
>"Obviously we deplore the verdict of the death penalty against Saddam and one of his co-accused.
>
>We don't consider it was a fair process. The court was not impartial. There were not adequate steps taken to protect the security of defence lawyers and witnesses...
>
>Every individual has a right to a fair trial, even people accused of the crimes of the magnitude that Saddam Hussein faced, and this has not been a fair trial."
>
>It should be noted that AI is opposed to the death penalty on principle.
