- Name of mechanism
- Iraqi High Tribunal (IHT)
- Name of accused
- Muhammad Azzawi Ali al-Marsumi
- Charges
- Al-Marsumi was indicted (on 31 July 2005) for different charges of crimes against humanity, including torture (based on the Rome Statute provision) by aiding and abetting the senior defendants’ (Hussein, Hassan and Ramadan) joint criminal enterprise, which seemed to include sexual violence as found in the factual findings in the Judgement. The indictment was based on the response of the President and his staff on the July 1982 event. In July 1982, a convoy carrying Saddam Hussein was fired upon by unknown individuals as it was visiting the town of Al Dujail. In response to what the President perceived as an assassination attempt but which did not injure anyone, a systematic attack was launched against the residents of Al Dujail as they were fired upon from aircraft and their property was destroyed. A Revolutionary Court sentenced 148 residents to death without trial for their alleged involvement in the assassination attempt. Of those that were hanged, the Tribunal identified a number of children. Countless others died in detention, as a result of torture at the hand of the Investigation Services, or from malnutrition, lack of access to medical care and poor hygienic conditions. Many rapes and other forms of sexual violence committed against women took place in detention.
- Trial chamber verdict
- On 5 November 2006, al-Marsumi was acquitted on the request of the Prosecution (all the other co-accused in this case were convicted, including six for sexual violence).
