Women tell of torture by Sadda
The first female witness in the trial of Saddam Hussein today described the torture and sexual assaults she says she suffered at the hands of Iraqi intelligence officers in the early 1980s.
Hidden behind a screen, her voice disguised, the woman recounted how she was arrested in a raid on the town of Dujail after an attempt on the life of Saddam in 1982.
The fallen dictator and seven former lieutenants are on trial for killing 148 people in Dujail after his motorcade was attacked in the town. All eight plead not guilty and face the death penalty if convicted.

CID to probe role of ACB, petr
Mumbai, March 24: The State Crime Investigation Department (CID), who is investigating allegations by one Sandip Singh who has accused the Thane rural police of subjecting him to electric shocks to extract a statement from him, will now have to examine the truth behind it.
Singh’s statement, which he had given while he was in police custody in 2003, is crucial to a MCOCA case that was initiated by Assistant Police Inspector (API) Nitin Patil. Patil had accused senior officials of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), including the Director General Rahul Gopal of conniving with the petrol-adulteration mafia to frame him in a bogus case.
Bombay High Court bench of Justices Ranjana Desai and DB Bhosale on Tuesday, in a writ petition filed by API Patil, directed the CID to investigate the contentions, documents and evidences, which will be provided by the petitioner in the case.
In the event of the High Court order, the CID will now have to investigate if there was any conspiracy hatched by ACB officials and the petrol adulteration mafia, by verifying the contentions made in Singh’s statement. The writ petition contented that the CID was not investigating whether there was any truth in the statement given by Singh.
Advocate for API Patil Asmita Sarangdhar submitted before the court that the CID was not considering documentary evidences provided by API Patil and was thus conducting the investigation maliciously.
When the state sought six months to carry out investigations, the court ordered an expedited probe. The bench also kept open the remedy for the petitioners to approach the court in case of grievances regarding the investigations carried out by the CID.
A year after Singh gave the statement to the police detailing the conspiracy hatched by ACB-petrol adulteration mafia to trap API Patil in a bogus case, he wrote to the ACB alleging torture. Assistant Commissioner of Police M B Pawar had inquired in to Singh’s allegation. Pawar, in a report to the Director General of Police (DGP), had concluded that there was no material evidences to pursue the case and had recommended a departmental inquiry against the police officers instead.
In September 2006, the DGP had directed the Inspector General of Konkan region to lodge an FIR based on Singh allegations. Subsequently, Manor police station in Thane rural, had lodged a FIR and had booked API Nitin Patil, API IS Patil and API TK Borse in connection to the case.
