PRESS STATEMENT

The same fate for all dictators!

The capture by the American forces of the blood thirsty dictator Saddam Hussein has brought joy to all the people of Iraq and especially to the Kurds.

Our party shares the joy of the people of Iraq.

Saddam Hussein turned the country into a prison for the Arabs who demanded democracy and equal rights. For the Shiite population he considered all imaginable forms of torture to be appropriate. He razed more than 4,000 Kurdish villages to the ground. In one day he had 8,000 males of Barzani descent murdered. During the Anfal attacks more than 180,000 Kurds disappeared without trace and thousands of Feyli Kurds were mass murdered. Over 5,000 Kurds were killed with chemical weapons in Halabja.

Saddam, the head of the Baas dictatorship, should be brought before an international court. The Baas dictatorship’s international supporters should be exposed and condemned.

Saddam is not the only dictator in the region. Other dictators and enemies of peace, freedom and democracy remain in power. They continue to threaten the region’s security and stability and to bleed white the region’s people.

May Saddam’s fate be the same for the other dictators in the region!
