BAGHDAD, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Two days after being sentenced to hang for crimes against humanity, ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was back in court on Tuesday to face genocide charges against ethnic Kurds in the 1980s in a separate trial. An appellate court will review Saddam's death sentence, meaning no execution is likely before next year.
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan (R), whose son Casey was killed during combat in Iraq in April 2004, leaves after participating in a candlelight vigil in the village of Daechoori in Pyongtaek, where South Korea's defence ministry had fenced and demolished houses to make way for the expansion of a U.S. base, about 80 km (50 miles) south of Seoul, November 20, 2006. A delegation of U.S. peace and social justice activists led by Sheehan arrived in Seoul on Sunday for a six-day visit to object to the expansion of Camp Humphrey, the U.S. military base in Pyongtaek, and to protest against a plan for a free trade agreement (FTA) between South Korea and the U.S. The sign reads, "Plant seeds of peace in Pyongtaek".
