The trial of Saddam Hussein is one of the most famous and important trials in history, not only because it tried a head of state, but also because it affected the Iraqi and Arab people, and sparked widespread controversy and divergent opinions and positions about it. My guest in this episode is Khalil al-Dulaimi, head of the defense team for former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Khalil defended President Saddam Hussein voluntarily and willingly. Khalil says: “From the first time I met him, I knew I wanted to defend him,” but he also acknowledges the lack of justice and legitimacy of the court in which he pleaded, describing it as a “revenge court.” What was the nature of the discussions between them amid tight American surveillance, as my guest says? And how did Saddam Hussein accept the news of the execution? Many details are narrated from the moment of the American invasion and America's arrest of the president, to the position of Arab rulers and their objection to what happened. - • Download the "Radio Thmanyah" application. https://thmanyah.link/radio-fnjan • Safa Investment, high-end housing solutions that meet your needs and exceed your expectations: https://thmanyah.link/561 • Enter the world of e-commerce through the easiest doors, with "Salla", the future of trade..: https://thmanyah.link/salla • Integrated solutions for your comfort..
