RAW JUSTICE: Deputy President Of Iraq Sentenced To Death By Hanging!
A Baghdad court sentenced Iraq’s fugitive Sunni vice president to death Sunday after finding him guilty of masterminding the k*llings of a lawyer and a government security official.
Tariq al-Hashemi has denied the allegations. He fled the country after Iraq’s Shiite-led government leveled the terror charges against him in December.
The politically charged case sparked a crisis in Iraq’s government and has fueled Sunni Muslim and Kurdish resentment against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite who critics say is monopolizing power.
The Baghdad courtroom was silent Sunday as the presiding judge read out the verdict convicting al-Hashemi and his son-in-law of organizing the m*rders of a Shiite security official and a lawyer who had refused to help the vice president’s allies in terror cases.
The court sentenced both men in absentia to death by hanging. They have 30 days to appeal the verdict.
