Iraq’s Bar Association to defend Iraqi soldier who killed U.S. soldiers

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com – Iraq‘s Bar Association has decided on Sunday to adopt the defense of an Iraqi citizen, who killed a number of American soldiers recently, according to a statement of the Association. “The defense of life and land are among the most-sacred rights that must be respected and adopted by everybody. The occupation imposed on our beloved Iraq has forced slavery on our people and their free sons. Iraqis have been born free, refusing humiliation and slavery, so the honest sons of our people have risen to defend the land and the honor of the people and to resist the occupation forces,” the statement said. The statement concluded that “the case of the Iraqi citizen Kaisar Saadi Ramadan, enters within the said principles, having been sent to court under charges of killing a number of occupation soldiers. The Iraqi Lawyers and their Association, being the honest sons of this good land, have decided to adopt the Association’s decision to defend the said Iraqi citizen and for a committee of lawyers to defend him free of charge, as well as following up his case before the law till the its last phase, bearing all its expenses.” SKH (P)/SR 1
