There is no chance of holding a just and honest trial in such an atmosphere and these verdicts appear to have been issued beforehand. |
There was no confession by the president and all the investigations in this case do not implicate him at all. |
There was no confession from the president, and the investigation of this case does not incriminate the president at all. |
They are moving to a speedy conviction ... they have already passed a sentence even before the trial has ended. |
They had 2 1/2 years to prepare this case. They are giving us just three weeks. What's the hurry? Saddam is not going anywhere. |
This extremely short meeting was carried out with cameras and guards. This is a flagrant violation of the Geneva Convention on the rights of detainees. |
This will be a main condition to attendance at any future session. |
We cannot attend any trial session unless the chief judge resigns because he holds a personal grudge against my client. |
We contest all the details of the report. |
We have asked for an independent medical team to examine the president to examine the bruises inflicted on him which are still there on his body. |
We have not been duly informed about any certain date for a trial. |
We have now checked and it seems almost certain that the president no longer plans a hunger strike at least tomorrow as we thought earlier ... though some of his colleagues may. |
We hope the court will ... postpone tomorrow's hearing for the sake of preserving the lives of lawyers, witnesses and everyone concerned. |
We were notified by the Americans today that neither I nor the rest of the defense counsel can meet the President or our other clients. |
We will hold on to the decision to boycott the trial and not to participate in any future sessions until our reasonable demands for a fair, honest and transparent trial that brings out the truth are met. |
