Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein has been thrown out of court for the second time in a week. Judge Muhammad Oreibi al-Khalifa ordered the former Iraqi leader to leave after refusing his request to be let out of his metal cage. Saddam Hussein was thrown out last Wednesday, prompting the boycott of his defence lawyers. Chief defence lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi and his team decided to stay away in protest at what he called mistakes by the judge and government interference, BBC reported. Judge al-Khalifa was appointed after the Iraqi government sacked the previous judge, accusing him of bias in favour of Saddam Hussein.
