The Government of Iraq Spokesman Dr. Ali Al-Dabbagh stressed that the Iraqi High Criminal Court is providing all legal guarantees for the accused Tariq Azeez, including defense lawyers and allowing international lawyers and personalities, and some countries Embassy personnel to visit him.
Al-Dabbagh added that the accused Tariq Azeez who is facing trial for several charges under the law, enjoys all the rights guaranteed by the Law for the accused, like providing suitable detention conditions including food, accommodation, medical treatment, and contacting family members, and trying him in accordance with all international standards of justice, Law, impartiality, and professionalism.
Al-Dabbagh clarified that the accused Tariq Azeez is being tried according to the standards of justice and law that are being implemented in fairness for the victims of the previous regime, a regime that did not provide any respect for justice, nor any opportunity for the accused to defend themselves. Tariq Azeez was part of that regime that caused destruction to Iraqi society and the entire region, making it the worst regime throughout Iraq’s history.
