Relatives of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein are protesting against a decision of the Iraqi government to confiscate possessions belonging to the late dictator. The government passed a bill earlier this month approving the confiscation of property, both movables and real estate, belonging to Saddam and to other high-ranking figures in the ousted regime. The family is filing a lawsuit to international and Iraqi courts against the confiscation bill. Two of Saddam’s daughters,Raghad and Rana, have been living in Amman since July 2003, while their mother and younger sister Hala are in Qatar. Their lawyer says the bill to confiscate their possessions is politically motivated.
