IRAQ: TARIQ AZIZ APPEAL ON DEATH RULING OUT IN 2 WEEKS

the outcome of Tariq Aziz's death penalty appeal will be issued in Iraq in two weeks, court sources revealed. Saddam Hussein's former deputy prime minister was condemned to death in October 2010. The accelerated pace of sentences being carried out by the High Court is probably linked to the recent decision to terminate the court's work on former regime members by June.
