Judge Rauf is a victim of the occupation and insecurity in Iraq and should be given refugee status.

 According to the media sources Judge Rauf Abdurrahman  (who gave orders to execute Saddam Hessian, Saddam’s step brother Barzan Tikriti and Awad Bander) has left Iraq and he is claiming asylum in the UK.  In Leaving Iraq and claiming asylum in the UK Rauf has emphasised the fact that Iraq does not have sovereignty, the Iraqi government is not functioning and the whole country is unstable and insecure.  Which has meant he and thousands of others have been forced into leaving Iraq.

 

As I have said previously the Execution of Saddam Hussein and his co-defendants is part of an American scenario, which has been used as an excuse to cover the occupations failure in Iraq.  The Bush administration is trying to legitimize the sectarian Iraqi government that is dominated by Tribal and Islamic forces which have similar policies to Saddam’s regime. Islamic and sectarian groups who harm and hurt Iraqi people on daily basis conducted the execution process. The execution has led to a worsening of the situation in Iraq and made Saddam a national hero.  The execution process in occupied Iraq was organised by America and some political Islamic gangsters, who are repeating what Saddam’s regime has done to the Iraqi people for the past thirty-five years. 

 

The process of the judgment against Saddam and his co-defendants organised by Judge Rauf was not conducted in an appropriate way. The process has not dealt with the thirty-five years of torture and suffering of Iraqi people. There are still many reports relating to the killing of Kurdish people which have not been investigated, in fact it has covered up the secret history of the dictatorship in Iraq.

 

The fleeing of Judge Rauf to the UK has proved that the Iraqi government is unable to protect anyone in Iraq and is not representing the Iraqi people. Moreover, it proves that all statements by some European governments, which claim that Iraq is safe, are untrue. Significantly, Judge Rauf is from Kurdistan. The UK Home Office has argued that Kurdistan is autonomous from the rest of Iraq and is consequently safe and stable.  Judge Rauf’s claim for asylum shows this is not true.  Judge Rauf has left Iraq because of the political crisis in Iraq.   Which has lead to him distrusting the political regime that as a Judge he was once a part of!

 

Judge Rauf has the right to claim asylum in the UK and should be granted permission to live in the UK.
