Aisha, the daughter of late leader Muammar Gaddafi, has released a letter attributed to former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein that she wrote in her own hand from her prison before his execution. Sharing this new award…
Tomorrow, Friday, will be the 16th anniversary of the Iraqi president’s execution Saddam Husseinin which the sentence was carried out on 30 December 2006, after the Supreme Criminal Court had handed down, in November of the same year, death sentences by hanging against the late Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and two former officials of his regime, among harsh criticism of the court and accusing it of being only an “expression of victorious justice“.
The Supreme Criminal Court’s decision went as far as handing down death sentences by hanging against the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and two former officials of his regime, after convicting them of being responsible for killing 148 Shia villagers in the Shia village of Dujail, in north of Baghdad, in the early 1980s..
Saddam repeatedly tried to interrupt Judge Raouf Rashid Abdul Rahman as he delivered his verdict, repeating: “Long live Iraq, long live the Iraqi people. God is greater than the occupiers.” However, four guards took him out of the courtroom with his hands tied behind his back. Saddam Hussein was also sentenced to ten years in prison for committing a “crime against humanity”, i.e. torture, and another ten years for “population displacement”.“.
The court, which held its sessions in the walled Green Zone in central Baghdad, also sentenced Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, half-brother of the late Iraqi president, and Awad Ahmed al-Bandar, who presided over the revolutionary tribunal in the Dujail events. Al-Bandar sang delivering the verdict, “God is great for all traitors”, before being ejected from the hall.
The following is the text of the published letter from Aisha Muammar Gaddafi, which was written on October 26, 2006 and which came in the form of a poem:
Aisha was elected and the damage shuddered
And as he smiled, the dawn shone
So the larks settled in their nests
While the weight of his bitterness exhausted them
His choice was an ointment in an uncle’s wound
Has Vtz moves from the era axis
Don’t despair, Aisha, your brothers are hunting
They have a ball in his backyard, followed by a ball
Where Arabism has reawakened, it has triumphed
And if his people ignore him, the flight will explode
Voaddi your sisters and support his men
Our nation’s presence in the truth is exhilarating
The lie does not leave its generation unless we make it rivers
We have drawn our sword and its blade is red
We have known the squares where Tayeb has become stronger
Ah, in the arena of glory we have victory and victory
A war of believers, our vows have not failed us
And the impure in his fire is purified
Message from Saddam Hussein to Aisha Muammar Gaddafi
