Messages of Ayat Taqi & Hadi Modarresi on tyrant’ capture

By: Al-Modarresi

HOLY CITY OF KARBALA, Iraq: Ayatullah Sayyid Muhammad Taqi Al-Modarresi and Ayatullah Sayyid Hadi Al-Modarresi have greeted Iraqi nation on the detention of tyrant Saddam urging them to fast on Friday to pay thanks to Allah and saying Saddam's fall is not sufficient to bandage Iraqis wounds but justice for his victims is necessary.

The two Ayat gave their reactions in separate statements.

Ayatullah Taqi Al-Modarresi said: “After rivers of blood ran and millions of human souls were put to death and after the Iraqi nation stood for jihad for three decades, all of the free nations with Iraqis rejoiced to see the tyrant of the time (Saddam Hussein) captured.”

He urged the Iraqi nation to consider this day the martyr day because the martyr blood is the one that facilitated the way for the removal of the tyrant. He said Iraqis should welcome the sun of hope so that it shines on a promising tomorrow, and gives glad tidings to all Iraq sons without discrimination of Arabs, Kurds, Shiite, Sunni in east and west, south and north as a preparation for return of Iraq to its previous glories by the will of Allah.

Ayatullah Hadi Modarresi, in his statement, said that the capture of Saddam Hussein like a disgraced slave shows that injustice and oppression has a bad end in every situation.

The Ayatullah said that with Saddam's fall the kingdom of injustice has fallen actually in Iraq, but now the Iraqis are duty bound to establish a State based on justice, fairness, values, principles and the respect of rights of all.

He urged the need of getting all information from Saddam of crimes he committed before and after his fall especially the murders of Ayatullah Baqer Al-Hakim in the holy city of Najaf, Ayatullah Sayyid Hassan Ash-Shirazi in Beirut in 1980, Marje Ad-Dini Ayatullah Sayyid Muhammad Baqer As-Sadr and Ayatullah Sayyid Muhammad Sadiq As-Sadr in the holy city of Najaf.
