Association protests Saddam's fate

Gwalior, Nov 7 (UNI) The Indian Lawyers Association today expressed anguish over the death sentence awarded to former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.

Alleging that the capital punishment was predetermined through the choice of chief justice for the trial, he added that Saddam was not even provided a proper chance to defend himself.
