Judge Who Sentenced Saddam Executed by ISIS
Raouf Abdul Rahman, the judge who sentenced Saddam Hussein to death, has been captured and executed by revolutionary forces in Iraq. Rahman was reportedly captured by the forces of ISIS on June 16th.
Hussein was sentenced to death by hanging in 2006, as Rahmen presided over the proceedings. He was assigned to head the trial in January of that year, after the first judge in the case was deemed to be too lenient toward the defendant. The court under Rahman found Hussein guilty of crimes against humanity for the deaths of 148 people after an assassination attempt on the Iraqi leader. Political observers believe the militant group executed Rahman in retaliation for that decision.
Some critics charge Judge Rahman was biased in the case against Hussein. He had reportedly been arrested and tortured by forces under the Iraqi leader’s command. Members of his family also died in the 1988 poison gas attack allegedly ordered by Hussein.
With the forces of ISIS closing in on Baghdad, Rahman allegedly tried to escape the Iraqi capitol, dressed as a dancer.
Khalil Attieh, a member of Parliment in Jordan, reported on the execution of the former Iraqi judge.
On his Facebook page, the lawmaker in Amman wrote, “Iraqi revolutionaries arrested him and sentenced him to death in retaliation for the death of the martyr Saddam Hussein.”
News of the execution also comes from a former deputy of Hussein, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri. He is now a leader among the ISIS forces, managing the drive that has taken control of major cities, border checkpoints and oil refineries.
The execution of the judge was not confirmed by the Iraqi government. However, officials in Baghdad would not deny Rahman was captured by ISIS.
