Saddam's doctor admits to treating patients so they could be tortured again

Dr Mohammed Kassim Al-Byati, has admitted patching up torture victims so they could be brutalised again during Saddam Hussein’s regime.
Al-Byati arrived in Britain in 2000 on a six-month visitor visa, which was twice extended so he could undertake clinical attachments as a doctor.
The UK Border Agency rejected a claim for asylum by Al-Byati in 2007, when he admitted he had worked for Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi Intelligence Service.
The Iraqi faces a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel to decide if he is fit to practise.
A spokesman said: “The panel will inquire into the allegation that between December 1992 and March 1994, Dr Al-Byati visited camps and prisons as a doctor in Iraq.
“It is alleged that during these visits and whilst administering treatment, Dr Al-Byati knew that some prisoners he treated had sustained injuries as a result of torture, and it was likely that the prisoners would be tortured again.
"It is also alleged that as a consequence of Dr Al-Byati’s engagement in these events, he was complicit in acts of torture.”
