Alert: [URGENT] Stop Iraq From Sentencing Taha Yassin Ramadhan to Death  
Focus:Death Penalty
Action Request:Write E-Mail
Location:Iraq
The Trials Chamber of the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal (SICT) held a session on January 25 to consider the Appeals Chamber’s request to increase the sentence of life imprisonment against Former Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadhan, but postponed a decision until the tribunal reconvenes on February 12. Taha Yassin Ramadhan is at risk of being sentenced to death and executed.

The numerous gross human rights violations perpetrated during the rule of Saddam Hussein are well documented, and Amnesty International has welcomed the opportunity for justice and accountability. But justice for criminals only comes through fair trials and without use of the death penalty.
