Iâ?Tm Steve Ember with In the News in VOA Special English.
The trial in Baghdad of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has been suspended until after parliamentary elections. The elections will take place on Thursday. The trial is to continue on December 21st. Saddam Hussein is on trial with seven other men.
The judges involve the killing of more than 140 people from the Shiite town of Dujail, north of Baghdad. They were executed after an attack directed at Saddam Hussein in 1992. Government from a Shiite party fired at a vehicle in risky road through the town. The Iraqi leader was rescued after several hours of fighting. Later, his security forces attacked Dujail. They destroyed houses and businesses and took away most of the men. Many never returned. The trial began on October 19th.
The seven other men judged include Saddam Hussein half-brother Barzan Ibrahim. He was an Iraqi intelligent chief at the time of the killings. Another is Taha Yassin Ramadan. He was vice president from 1991 to 2003. A third defendant is Awad Haman Bander Sadun. He was chief of Iraqâ?Ts revolutionary court. He signed death sentences in connection with the Dujail killings.
A group of five judges will decide the case. A chief investigating judge questioned those who give evidence in the court. So far, those witnesses have described watching close family members being questioned, tortured and killed. They have told how security forces destroyed crops and property in Dujail and they have described being held for years in the Abu Ghraib prison. The men on trial, however, say witnesses have not named them as connected in any way to the crimes. Iraqi and American officials planned the trial after American troops captured Saddam Hussein in 2003. The officials say holding the trial in the country provides a good example for the democratic Iraq.
But violence has interfered with the trial. Two defendâ?Ts lawjers have been killed. Another has resigned. And the officials have said they discovered a block to attack the court-room. Also, one of the judges left the trial when he learned that one of the defendants has signed an order for the death of his brother. The defendants have shouted at the judges and other people in the court-room. Saddam Hussein has denounced the court and told the judge to go to hell.
On Wednesday, he refused to attend the trial. It continued without him. He has promised to be in court when the trial begins again on December 21st. The former president could be executed if found guilty of the Dujail killings. But Iraqi government lawjers are preparing twelve other cases that could be brought against him in the future.

PHIÊN TÒA XỬ SADDAM HUSSEIN BỊ DỜI ĐẾN 21/12.
Đây là Steve Ember với bản Tin Thời Sự trong chương trình Anh Ngữ Đặc Biệt, đài Tiếng Nói Hoa Kỳ.
Phiên tòa ở Baghdad xét xử cựu tổng thống Saddam Hussein của Iraq vừa được hoãn lại sau cuộc bầu cử nghị viện. Cuộc bầu cử sẽ diễn ra vào thứ năm. Sau đó, phiên tòa sẽ được tiếp tục đến ngày 21 tháng 12.
Saddam Hussein bị xét xử cùng với 7 người khác vì bị cáo buộc có liên quan đến vụ tàn sát hơn 140 người của thị trấn Shiite, tỉnh Dujail, thuộc phía bắc thành phố Baghdad. Những người dân này bị tàn sát sau một vụ tấn công trực diện vào Saddam Hussein năm 1982.
Những tay súng của một phe đảng ở Shiite đã bắn vào công xa của Saddam Hussein khi ông ta đi ngang qua thị trấn. Vị tổng thống Iraq này đã được giải cứu sau nhiều giờ bắn nhau. Sau đó, lực lượng bảo an của ông ta đã tấn công Dujail. Họ phá hủy nhà cửa và các cửa tiệm, bắt đi gần hết đàn ông trong vùng. Nhiều người bị bắt đã không bao giờ trở lại.
Phiên tòa đã bắt đầu từ ngày 19/10. Trong số 7 người bị cáo buộc kia có cả người anh em cùng cha khác mẹ của Saddam Hussein là Barzan Ibrahim. Lúc xảy ra vụ tàn sát, ông ta là người đứng đầu của cơ quan tình báo Iraq. Một người khác là Taha Yassin Ramadan. Ông này là phó tổng thống từ năm 1991 đến 2003. Bị cáo thứ ba là Awad Haman Bander Sadun, nguyên là chánh tòa pháp viện chống phiến loạn của Iraq. Ông ta là người đã ký bản án tử hình dẫn đến vụ tàn sát ở Dujail.
Một nhóm gồm năm vị thẩm phán sẽ phán quyết vụ này. Một vị chủ thẩm sẽ thẩm vấn tất cả những người cung cấp chứng cứ vụ án ngay tại tòa. Kết quả điều tra cho đến nay, những chứng nhân đó đã kê khai về việc mục kích (mục kích = tận mắt chứng kiến) thân nhân bị hỏi cung, tra tấn và tử hình.
Họ đã cho biết cụ thể về việc lực lượng bảo an đã hủy hoại mùa màng và tài sản ở Dujail. Đồng thời, họ cũng kể về việc bị cầm tù trong nhiều năm ở trại giam Abu Ghraib.
Tuy nhiên, những bị cáo trong phiên tòa đã nói rằng những nhân chứng kia chưa hề đích danh cáo buộc họ có liên quan gì đến những tội trạng này.
Các nhà chức trách của Iraq và Hoa Kỳ đã hoạch định cho việc xét xử này từ khi quân đội Hoa Kỳ bắt được Saddam Hussein vào năm 2003. Các viên chức này cho biết việc thụ lý phiên tòa ngay trong nước là một hành động chứng minh cụ thể cho nền dân chủ của Iraq.
Nhưng bạo loạn đã có ít nhiều ảnh hưởng đến việc xét xử này. Hai luật sư biện hộ đã bị giết. Một người khác vừa từ chức. Và các nhà chức trách vừa cho biết họ đã phát hiện được một kế hoạch tấn công vào phòng xét xử. Ngoài ra, một vị thẩm phán đã rút khỏi phiên tòa khi biết rằng một trong những bị cáo đã ký lệnh tử hình người anh em của ông ta.
Các bị cáo đã chửi bới vào mặt các vị quan tòa và những người khác trong công đường. Saddam Hussein đã tẩy chay phiên tòa và chửi viên chánh án ?o ông đi chết đi!? Vào hôm thứ tư vừa qua, ông ta không chịu tham dự phiên xử. Nhưng phiên tòa vẫn diễn ra dù ông ta vắng mặt. Ông ta hứa sẽ có mặt khi phiên tòa xử lại vào ngày 21/12.
Vị cựu tổng thống này có thể bị tử hình nếu bị xét thấy có tội trong việc tàn sát ở Dujail. Tuy nhiên, các luật sư của chính phủ Iraq vẫn đang chuẩn bị cho 12 vụ khác có thể được đem ra để cáo buộc ông ta trong tương lai.
Bản Tin Thời Sự trong chương trình Anh Ngữ Đặc Biệt của đài Tiếng Nói Hoa Kỳ này do cô Nancy Steinbach soạn thảo. Những bản tin của chúng tôi được đăng trên trang voaspecialenglish.com. Đây là Steve Ember.
Iraq?Ts Revolutionary Court.
Thông thường tên gọi của các cơ quan chính phủ không cần phải có sở hữu cách (''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s) như vầy. Sở dĩ ở đây có ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s là vì đây là Tòa chuyên xử phiến loạn của Iraq. Vậy thì có gì đặc biệt? Chắc bạn và những người khác trong đây sẽ thắc mắc vấn đề này phải không?
Việc là như vầy. Cuộc nổi dậy (Revolutionary) này vốn xuất phát từ bên Iran vào năm 1979. Khi ấy người dân xứ này đã chán ghét chế độ quân chủ nên đã nổi dậy ủng hộ vị giáo chủ đạo Hồi là Giáo Chủ Khomeini, lật đổ ngôi vị của Vua Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
Iraq và các nước lân bang đều khủng hoảng trước cuộc đảo chánh này nên đã thiết lập tòa án chống phiến quân này để thẳng tay trừng phạt dân trong nước, nhằm không cho ảnh hưởng đến đế chế của mình.
Revolutionary Court là một loại tòa án đặc biệt của người hồi giáo. Vị quan tòa là người có quyền tối cao phán quyết tất cả mọi việc, không cần thiết phải thông qua những luật lệ tố tụng thông thường. Ông ta có thể thi hành lệnh bắt giam, hoặc xử tử tất cả các phạm nhân nào được nghi ngờ có liên quan đến việc nổi loạn để chống chính quyền như bên Iran.

Cảm ơn thành ý của bạn nhé, nhưng chắc TV không thể cùng bạn uống trà được rồi, vì còn phải đi kiếm chỗ sửa lại cái ...mũi. Bạn khen quá nên nó phồng ra như trái cà chua rồi nè!
Thuở nhỏ, vì nhà nghèo nên TV thường vào chùa làm công quả để được "hưởng dụng" cơm ....chùa đó mà! (nói nhỏ thêm cho bạn biết bên Nam Tông không dùng chay, nên cơm chùa ngon tuyệt vời luôn đó! , Nhưng bạn cũng đừng có vội mừng ha, vì bù lại, họ chỉ ăn một buổi trưa trước giờ Ngọ thôi!)
Chính vì không mất thời giờ nhiều cho việc ăn uống, nên thời gian còn lại TV thường mượn kinh điển ra xem. Cũng cần nói thêm với bạn là TV lúc nhỏ rất nghèo, nhưng cũng rất ham đọc để tìm hiểu thêm kiến thức. Vì vậy, bất cứ thấy chữ ở đâu là TV đều ghé mắt vào. Có nhiều khi còn tình nguyện giúp việc lặt vặt cho mấy cô bán bánh mỳ để được ...duyệt qua những tờ giấy ve chai dùng để gói bánh cho người ta nữa. Do đó, TV khi được vào chùa làm công quả thì đâu dễ gì bỏ qua cơ hội ....đột nhập ...tàng thư các ....chứ ha! Xem riết nên cũng tạm hiểu biết chút ít thôi, không thật sự giỏi như bạn nghĩ đâu!
Vài dòng hồi âm cùng bạn. Chúc bạn khởi đầu một tuần như ý ha!

And they have described being helped for years in the Abu Ghraib presence. The men on trial however says the witnesses have not named them as connected in any way to these crimes.
Iraqi and American officials planed the trial after American troops captured Saddam Hussein in 2003.
