US Central Command in Qatar announced the arrest of Muhammad Hamza by US troops on the 4th of April 2003.
He was then turned over to Iraq's Interim Government on June 30th 2004 and was arraigned on the 1st of July 2004.
Charges against the deposed Iraqi leader and 11 of his senior officials are expected to include war crimes and genocide, as well as crimes against humanity, but it is not yet clear what offences each individual will be charged with.
Trial Watch would like to remind its users that any person charged by national or international authorities is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
