The chief judge in Saddam Hussein's genocide trial has been replaced amid complaints from Shiite and Kurdish
officials that he was too soft on the former Iraqi leader, a move that could raise accusations of government
interference in the highly sensitive case.
The government spokesman's office announced that judge Abdullah al-Amiri was replaced with Mohammed al-
Uraibiy, who was his deputy in the trial, said a court official, who asked not to be named because he was not
authorized to speak to the media. Al-Uraibiy is a Shiite Muslim Arab, the official said.
The Iraqi High Tribunal, the country's supreme court, made the request in a letter to prime minister Nouri al-
Maliki, who approved it, according to a government official who also asked not to be named for the same
reasons.
One of Saddam's defense lawyers decried the move as purely political.
"This was a coup that succeeded. There was no legal reason for removing him (al-Amiri)," defense lawyer
Badee Izzat Aref said.
"They (court officials) felt that he would not respond to their demands," he said.
Hussein al-Duri, an aide to the prime minister, said one reason for al-Amiri's dismissal was the judge's
comments last week in a court session, in which he told Saddam "You were not a dictator."
"The head of the court is requested to run and control the session, and he is not allowed to violate judicial
regulations, " al-Duri told Al-Arabiya television. "It is not allowed for the judge to express his opinion."
Al-Amiri's comment angered many Kurds and Shiites, fuelling their criticism that he was too lenient with
Saddam. Prosecutors in the trial had already asked for al-Amiri to be replaced after he allowed Saddam to lash
out at Kurdish witnesses during a court session.
The change could revive complaints that the government is interfering in the tribunal trying Saddam and his
regime members to ensure a quick guilty verdict. In the current trial, Saddam faces a possible death penalty if
convicted on genocide charges over the Anfal military offensive against Iraqi Kurds in the 1980s.
In Saddam's first trial - over alleged atrocities against Shiites in the town of Dujail - the chief judge stepped
down halfway through the 9-month-long proceedings, saying he could no longer put up with criticism from
officials that he was too lenient in allowing courtroom outbursts by Saddam and his co-defendants.
He was replaced by a far tougher judge who several times threw out defendants and defense lawyers he said
were out of line.
A verdict in the Dujail trial is expected on October 16.
The current case against Saddam began on October 21. Al-Amiri presided over the latest session of that trial
Tuesday, in which more Kurdish survivors of Anfal recounted chemical bombardment of their villages by the
Iraqi military.
Saddam and six other defendants are on trial for alleged atrocities against Kurds during Operation Anfal, a
crackdown on Kurdish guerrillas in the late 1980s. The prosecution alleges some 180,000 people died in the
campaign, many of them civilians killed by poison gas.
Saddam and his cousin "Chemical" Ali al-Majid are charged with genocide, and the others with various
offenses. All could face death by hanging if convicted.
