Saddam ‘psychologically abused’
“Saddam Hussein was severely tortured at the start of his detention and I have seen traces of bruises on his body,” Khalil al-Dulaimi said as he arrived in Jordan from Iraq.
“They are still torturing him psychologically and his rights are totally being violated,” Dulaimi said.
“Yesterday (Thursday) I lodged a formal complaint with the Iraqi court asking for an investigation,” he said.
Saddam said during two hearings on Wednesday and Thursday that he had been beaten up by US troops after his arrest in December 2003.
The White House dismissed his allegations as “preposterous”.
